I like small birthday gatherings because they feel more special. When I have just a few close friends and family, we can really enjoy spending time together. We can play games and do fun activities. It’s also easier to talk to everyone and not feel too crowded (拥挤的). Plus, with a small group, we can all sit together to have cake and ice cream. Overall, small gatherings make my birthday feel more fun and relaxed.
