There are many forms and ways to celebrate. It does not all have to be noisy. But the capacity to celebrate is a God given gift. Celebration can be a simple candle lit, or a party. It can be a letter written or it can be a dance.
The important thing is to keep your mind on exactly what you are celebrating Really celebrate that person, event, or accomplishment. It is to be in the moment with it.
The first act of celebration should be in a prayer to the Lord, expressing your joy. Let him join you in the feeling. It is so easy to go to him when hurting or in need, but all too often we turn to a friend to share that first moment of joy. Allowing the Lord to hear your voice only intensifies the feeling. You might even see him celebrating!
