What aspects/traditions of birthday celebrations do you cherish/enjoy the most? Why? Are you planning to pass those traditions to you children in the future?why?

  1. Spending quality time with the one's you love and care the most.
  2. Wishing birthday man best wishes
  3. Spending time with family! Yes, I am going to pass this tradition to my children because parents, brothers/sisters must be the ones you have to cherish.
  4. I think it's most important to gather your closest ones together and celebrate with them, because the connection is important and I'm definitely going to pass the value of it to my children
  5. In my family there is a tradition, that on 18th birthday, family's girls get a ring. My grandmother gave it to my mother, my mum gave it to me and I will give it to my future daughter.
  6. We don't really have birthday traditions so there's nothing to pass to my children.
  7. Being with your closest friends and enjoying the day with them. If I will have children, they should know that huge parties aren't always the best way to celebrate your birthday.
  8. Being out with the family. It's heartwarming experience :D the only tradition I'll keep is try to make perfect atmosphere for their birthday.
  9. The aspect of celebrating birthdays that I cherish the most is spending time with my mother, because she is the one who gave birth to me and without her there wouldn't be a birthday to celebrate. I hope I can pass on this tradition to my children in the future, because I would like them to think that family is important.
  10. I don't particularly enjoy celebrating birthdays so I only cherish the fact that I can spend time with my family.
