Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on December 20, 1984)

Happy Birthday, John! Another year older and wiser—though we’re still debating the "wiser" part. Your recent successes have been impressive; from your uncanny ability to win trivia nights single-handedly, to finally mastering that barbecue recipe everyone doubted you'd perfect. Honestly, we're just glad you haven't burned down the backyard yet.

Here's hoping this next year brings even more memorable moments (and fewer kitchen mishaps). Keep being awesome, keep making us laugh until our sides hurt, and remember: age is merely a number—but in your case, it's becoming quite an impressive one! Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun!
