How do you celebrate your birthday in your country?
|
Hi, next week we are starting about birthday customs around the world. I �m trying to make a ws about this, but so far all I have is Latin American custom, teen girls celebrate with a huge party when they �re 15 years old. The dance with their father, relatives and friends. However I would like to know if they have a custom like this in other countries.
Please, would you tell me how you celebrare birthdays in your country??
Thank you so much.

In the US, it is the girl �s sixteenth birthday that is a big event, with a Sweet Sixteen party. Not being a girl, and not the father of a girl, I don �t know any details.
In a general bithday celebration, the one common factor is a birthday cake with candles, and usually ice cream. Friends and relatives give birthday presents, especially if there is a party.

-In Germany, if it �s your birthday you are supposed to buy the drinks.
-In the USA, the "birthday boy" (or girl) usually gets treated to the drinks (and often dinner).
-In the USA, the 21st birthday is often celebrated with alcohol, because yo are not allowed to buy or consume alcohol until you are 21.

in our country we dont celebrate birthday,s parties except remebering that day
sometimes father bring acake with him and without any guests except the members of family, they gatherd together and talk
we dont celebrate any thing except twice in the year and ofcourse alkohol is not allowed during our whole life
our celebrations as moslims depend on visiting brothers ,sisters,aunts, and so remembering poor ones during these celebrations |

Dear neighbor lovely
moslimah,
your words broke my heart.
You can �t imagine.
Sometimes we forget that
some people live so different from us. I think the topic should be: Are you celebrate your birthday in your
country?
