Late Dec Babies..how we doin'?

Turned 50 a few days before Christmas, and I live in a country where Christmas isn't really a big deal (unless you're KFC). I finished work at midnight (WFH), my wife was sleeping and we both had work the next day, so I poured a stiff rum and coke and went outside to smoke the cigar I had bought for the occasion. It was cold as hell, but I bundled up and enjoyed my cigar and drinks (I came in a few times to top up), while reading on my Kindle. That was basically it. No fanfare, no calls/emails, just a Whatsapp message from my sister. My Dad passed away last year and Mom's in a home now with the beginnings of dementia, but even so if felt weird not to get a call/email from them. It was just business as usual and very much a normal day. Kinda underwhelming when I think back on my parent's 50th celebrations, but to be fair, my wife's wasn't any more exciting than mine, so I guess that's just a reflection of our boring (or perhaps It's better to say, "peaceful and content") life.
