Though different cultures have diffenent ways to celebrate birthday, there are something in common. For example, adults all around the world usually put a certain number of candles on their children's birthday cakes. Each candle represents one year of the birthday child’s age. Then the child blows out the candles , makes a wish and cuts the cake. In my country, we usually have a party at home or out in a restaurant to celebrate birthday. Adults gather together to relax by talking about life and work while children eating birthday cakes and playing with their brothers, sisters or cousins. The party often lasts very later until everyone gets tired and go back home. A brithday can provides a chance to have a family reunion, the main character who is also the owner of the birthday will receive a lot of gifts from others. So, in my country, how to celebrate a brithday can be various, but all of the activities center around family. Family is the most important part of our culture.
