I don't really have birthday traditions as such, as my birthday falls on a major holiday for the United States. So it's really more "yep, it's going to happen, and everyone has had plans for months, and plenty of places will either be full or closed, so there's no real point, is there?"
For those that still insist on celebration, because they believe that I still should be celebrated, the requests I usually make are for some other confection than a regular cake and that there be no theming of any part of my celebration toward the other celebration on the same day. No color combinations, nor props nor well wishes in the style or theme of that other celebration.
