Pros and Cons

Like anything, there are pros and cons to celebrating a quarantine birthday. On the plus side, it forces you to get creative and think outside the box when it comes to planning your celebration. It also allows you to connect with friends and family from all over the world via video conferencing platforms. However, it can be challenging to feel truly connected to your loved ones when you can’t celebrate in person, and it may not feel as special as a traditional birthday celebration.
