Birthday Traditions in Different Countries
England Certain symbolic objects are mixed into the birthday cake as it’s being prepared. If your piece of cake has a coin in it, then you will be rich. Also, when it’s your birthday, your friends give you the “bumps”. They lift you in the air by your hands and feet. And they raise you up and down to the floor. One for each year you lived, then another one or two for luck.
Denmark A flag is flown outside a window. It shows that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child’s bed while he/she is sleeping. So the child will see them at once when they wake up.
Holland Special year birthdays such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 are called “crown” years. The birthday child receives an especially large gift on a crown year birthday. The family also decorates the birthday child’s year at the dining room table with flowers, paper streamers and balloons.
Canada The birthday child’s nose is greased (涂抹) with butter for good luck. The greased nose makes the child so slippery that bad luck can’t catch him/her. In some parts of Canada, the birthday person even receives a punch (一拳) for each year he/she is alive. And then one for good luck.
Brazil The birthday child receives a pull on the ear for each year he/she has been alive. The birthday person also gives the first piece of cake to the most special people.
Korea There is a big family party on the first birthday. The table is set with food, and four things: a pencil, a ruler, thread, and money. The baby chooses one thing. People think it can tell his/her future: excellent student, good with hands, long life or riches.
