Synonyms of "Birthday" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between What did you do on your last birthday and What did you do at your last birthday ?
A:
The first one can mean the day of their birthday. Meanwhile, the second one seems like it's asking what they did at the party of their last birthday. Though the second one sounds a little unnatural. It's better to ask "What did you do at your last birthday party?"

“I helped the birthday party” doesn’t make sense

Other questions about "Birthday"
Q:
- I am sorry, I ended up overlooking your birthday present. Does this sound natural?
A:
Overlook makes sense but might be slightly unnatural in this context. Overlook can mean forget but it’s primary meaning is to fail to notice something, usually a portion/detail of something. A native speaker would likely say: forgetting your birthday present. Although, if the speaker was collecting things to bring to the birthday party and brought everything except the present, then overlook fits very well. A good example sentence for overlook is: While editing your text, I overlooked the spelling error on the first page. The boss praised each employee but he overlooked John.

I haven’t decided what to do.
Does this sound natural?
I haven’t decided what to do.
Does this sound natural?
A:
× On my birthday, I’ll take a day off this year.
✓ I’ll take a day off for my birthday this year
A "though" might also fit before or after "I haven't decided what to do" and/or maybe a "yet" at the end. You can also say "[Though] I'm still not sure what to do [yet]" or "[Though] I still don't know how to spend it". Making it just one sentence instead of two with a comma would also sound more natural.
