Why Do We Celebrate Birthdays?
We celebrate our birthdays because they are the anniversary of our birth. And, like all good anniversary celebrations, they should involve our family, friends and colleagues.
Birthdays celebrations traditionally involve:
- Birthday Cards: A personalised birthday quote or greeting can turn a simple "Happy Birthday" wish into a memorable one!
- Birthday Cake: A decorated cake covered with one candle for every year of age. Some say that is you make a wish as you blow out the candles then your wish will come true provided you keep it secret!
- Birthday Gifts: Best friends and relatives often buy gifts to celebrate this special occasion, particularly for those milestone birthdays! If you are looking for gift ideas for your girlfriend or boyfriend, you might be interested in Best Present for Girlfriend and Gifts For Boyfriend's Birthday.
Here are my favourite birthday quotes for friends and co-workers:
