1. The tradition of giving gifts. It is present in every family and varies from the formal presentation of a gift to the transformation of this action into a ritual. There are families where gifts are prepared in advance, taking into account the wishes of the child, which has a positive effect — the child receives the gifts that he wanted. This makes the gift even more expensive for the birthday boy. To prolong the pleasure of receiving gifts, they are wrapped in beautiful paper and put in a certain place (children's room, living room). The child gets great pleasure from the process of unwrapping the gift, he makes guesses, trying to determine by touch what is hidden in the paper.
2.The tradition of home decoration. The obligatory attributes of this tradition were the decoration of the house with helium balloons of different colors and shapes, and, of course, the ball-the number of years that have passed. The balloons are delivered late in the evening, when the children are already asleep, although they know that the decoration with balloons happens every year, but they are always happy with them, as if for the first time.
3. The "Birthday cake" tradition. Here you can observe different approaches: in some families, the cake is baked by the mother, in others-the cake is ordered in a pastry shop. A birthday cake becomes a work of art — it is a whole composition: a combination of ingredients, colors, decorations. You can see cakes that reflect the interests of children: fairy tale characters, animal figures, etc. A mandatory attribute of this tradition is blowing out candles
Birthday is a very wonderful day. Everybody likes to celebrate it. It is a good opportunity to spend time with friends, parents, relatives.
I was born on the 10th of January. In the morning on my birthday my parents lay the presents near my bed. So the first thing I see when I open my eyes is my presents. My Mom and Daddy and my little brother come to my room to congratulate me and to sing "Happy Birthday".
Usually we hold my birthday party in the evening. Once we went to a cafe to celebrate my birthday, but usually we celebrate it at home. We clean the house the day before birthday. In the morning of birthday party day my father goes shopping and buys everything we need.
My mother bakes a cake or pie. By the evening food is cooked, the table is laid. We put on evening suits and dresses and wait for the guests. The flat looks nice and cosy. I am always very glad to meet my guests. I like to get flowers and presents. Mom gives me the telegram from my aunt.
We have an abundant dinner on this day. Mom brings in the birthday cake. I blow the candles out. We dance and sing songs, play games and laugh, joke, tell funny stories. I think that my birthday is one of the best days in a year.
