Birthdays are spical to me.
Mine happens to be 7 days before the new year.
Every year it seams like less people celabrate the passing of another year with me.
So maybe I'll by myself a presant this next year.
Every day I'll save a penny,
-and-
on New Years I'll by myself a candy bar,
one of the big ones,
with my 3.65$.

This is a lovely concept but I would highly recommend that you utilize spell check as there are several misspellings within the body of this piece. In addition, the English major in me is screaming to capitalize "I" when referring to yourself and use proper punctuation otherwise - at first glance, where you intended "I'll" appears to read ill.
My birthday is January 3rd so I can certainly commiserate with you but unfortunately as we get older, birthdays evidently lose their importance. Having said that, if I am ever lucky enough to be blessed with a small one whose birthday is near a holiday, I will take special pains to make every birthday exceptional to avoid this feeling!
Best wishes & happy almost birthday! -
