We look forward to our birthdays for 364 days a year! We invite special people to celebrate our birthdays with us together!
The Presents
Children open the presents as soon as they are awake. They can᾽t wait for the birthday cake later in the day!
The Cards
Friends and family send birthday cards. Sending birthday cards is a custom that began in England about 100 years ago.
The Party
The birthday child will have a party. And friends and family to the party bring presents for the birthday child. The children play games such as musical chairs and pass the parcel.
The Cake
The birthday cake is decorated on a theme (主题). A candle for each year is lit and placed on top and the child blows out the candles making a wish. We don᾽t put objects inside the cake as stated on many websites.
The Bumps
It used to be traditional for the birthday child to have the bumps (碰 撞). Friends would hold the child by the legs and under the arms and lift the child up and down bumping them gently on the ground. The number of bumps given is the age of the child plus one for extra good luck. As this can be dangerous, clapping is often done instead.
School / Work
Some children do take sweets into school to share with their classmates on their birthdays. Adults also take cakes into their work place to celebrate their birthdays.
