In Italy, Hungary, Argentina, and other countries, a similar tradition to the birthday bumps dictates that you wish a happy birthday by pulling on the earlobes of the birthday boy or girl. This is done once for each year of the person카지노 게임 컬렉션�s age.

Geburtstag in Germany

When it comes to wishing someone a happy birthday in Germany, there is a strict rule that must be observed: no one should say Alles Gute zum Geburtstag before the actual birthday.

In addition to that, the person celebrating the birthday is the one supposed to buy drinks for their friends or bring cake to work, unlike in many countries where it is the other way around.

Australian Fairy Bread

In Australia, instead of the big classic birthday cake, you are more likely to see 카지노 게임 컬렉션�fairy bread카지노 게임 컬렉션�: sliced white bread spread with butter and covered with hundreds of colorful sprinkles. This desert is very simple, but it is definitely a favorite among children and adults and a must-have at birthday parties in Australia, as well as New Zealand.

Greased Nose

In Canada, especially on the Atlantic side, it is a common practice to sneakily grease the birthday boy/girl카지노 게임 컬렉션�s nose with butter. By doing so, the greased nose will make the person too slippery for bad luck. The amount of butter even increases as you get older!

Birthday Fun in Mexico

The large Mexican birthday parties are celebrated with a piñata, which is a festive object or an animal made out of papier mâché and crafted in bright colors. The piñata is always filled with candies, treats, and small toys for birthday kids, and party goers take turns trying to break it 카지노 게임 컬렉션� while blindfolded 카지노 게임 컬렉션� by hitting it with a bat or stick.

What카지노 게임 컬렉션�s more, a birthday celebration in Mexico cannot end without 카지노 게임 컬렉션�the cake in the face카지노 게임 컬렉션�. If it is your birthday, you are supposed to bite the creamy cake without using your hands, while everyone shouts Mordida! Mordida! Mordida! 카지노 게임 컬렉션� which means 카지노 게임 컬렉션�bite카지노 게임 컬렉션�. After that, your face will be pushed into the cake!

Thoughtful Birthday Cards

Writing a nice and sincere card is the most important part when it comes to wishing someone a happy birthday in Russia. In fact, Russians like giving long and thoughtful cards and messages, with wishes for love, success, and health. Writing a simple 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Happy Birthday카지노 게임 컬렉션� would be considered unthoughtful and might cause disappointment.

Moreover, at school, children usually receive small gifts on their birthsay, such as books and pencils, from their teacher and classmates.
