Birthday celebration traditions in East Asian countries (China, South Korea and Japan) and Lithuania

電灯〰ないです❗たのしんではいました。

I think celebrate birthday with family members is the best.

Stay with family and friends. Just all.

We usually buy a cake to throw to face of birthday guy. it is really funny when i throw to other, not for me, because after that i should wash my face, and change the clothes.

和自己觉得重要的人在一起过生日是非常有意义的，比如家人，我希望孩子们也这么认为。

As I do not follow Chinese tradition . I do not think I will pass this culture to my children

Celebrate with my friends in Disneyland. And they will give the surprise to me. And my mum will buy the present and cake to me. Yes, i.will .

no idea

Birthday song and present It mean they think about me. Of course

aspects.. i dont really enjoy or cherish some aspects of birthday celebration.. maybe blowing candles ?

Shichi-Go-San. Meaning 7-5-3 in Japanese. We celebrate these years and children dress up and get special candies. It's not exactly a birthday celebration though. It's a yearly celebration. I would pass that to my kids just because the dress seems good to me. You can google it and it'll tell. Can't paste URL here.

I want to keep traditional way. Simply speaking, birthday is not celebrate me but appreciate god or ancestor.

Yes. I try to organise nice games with existential talks during my birthdays. I like this tradition and I'm going to pass it if I have children.

I like birthdays because all my friends gather and remember me. I hope my children will also have a special day a year when all their friends gather to celebrate together.

Being with my friends and getting messages on SNS. They make me so happy. I want to pass it to the next generations because I want them to know how happy they are when surrounded by important people

Eating a cake is one of my favourite coz I don't eat cakes usually. I will do the same to my kids coz "I" wanna eat it as well. lol

yes

time with best friends is the most precious, the other things is in second place

Mostly I cherish gifts from my mom. It always something I really really want or need. I hope I will be such understanding and would know what my children wants. I also like, how my mother always congratulates me early in the morning on my birthdays, that and warm familly dinner is something I want to pass to my children.

I enjoy the foods and presents the most. Because the foods are gorgeous and I can get what I want. I want to do as same with my children. Because these things make us happy and a party will be full of smiles!

Eating cake with people you like.

I enjoy the candle blowing and cake eating the most, because it makes me realize that it really is my birthday, not just any random day. I think that even if I don't specifically pass on this tradition, it would automatically stay alive in the next generations as well, as it is such a widespread tradition.

I think that I enjoy blowing candles the most. It's so nice to make a wish and believe in it while blowing candles. This tradition is very popular, so I think that my children will also do this.

If friends suprises me.

My children can celebrating how they wonnt to and were they wannt to.

cake, definitely

I cherish small gestures, personal calls, I think biggest present you can get is other person's time. And this is what I would want to pass to my children, just show them that going big is not always the way and giving your time and attention are two things with which you cannot go wrong.

I guess I would love my children to just always come to me during bday at least that I could give them a hug. So just a little visit to relatives on bday or around birthday would be great.

I think the tradition to think a wish before blowing candles is really adorable and it gives you hope as well as motivation/inspiration to follow your dreams.

I enjoy the most the fact that I can be with family that comes to visit not so often. For me its like family celebratin but I get presents. And yes I will try to pass it to children.

In our family, we don't have strong birthday traditions, so it is hard to answer to this question. For my children, I think I would try to create traditions which could be past to them.

I enjoy that people who care about you come together on that one day to celebrate it together. It shows that there are still people who care enough not to forget your day. I'm not going to restrict my children to any traditions, but I'm going to encourage them to remember their friends' birthdays and do at least something nice to them on that day.

Singing "happy birthday"

Mostly I enjoy family's/relatives meeting and cake eating. I hope my children enjoy the same thing to, not presents whitch will compere by the pice.

No traditions.

I have no traditions.

When everybody giving a presents. The best part of birthday.

I just spwnt wwith my close people. Thats what I want to teach my children. That it is not important how many people there will be or where you will celebrate, since after a lot of time, you remember who were with you.

Like I said, I do not follow some kind of traditions. As for the future, I suppose I would like to educate my children about the right way to celebrate their birthdays and teach them about the right valiues, such as friendship and happiness and not presents and ameneties.

The only tradition I enjoy on birthdays is spending time with the most precious people, the gifts and food are not important for me. I'm not planning to have any children in the future.

Spending quality time with the one's you love and care the most.

Wishing birthday man best wishes

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.

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

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.

We don't really have birthday traditions so there's nothing to pass to my children.

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.

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.

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.

I don't particularly enjoy celebrating birthdays so I only cherish the fact that I can spend time with my family.

I enjoy that everyone is together and that's the most important in every celebration.

Apie gimtadienius nuomonės neturiu

I don't know

birthday candles Snowball I think is the most beautiful birthday tradition

I don't know. I would like that my children would celebrate more often their birthdays than I do that.

I adore having a birthday cake, making wishes and blowing the candles. It's highly aesthetic and I like the idea of making wishes. I do plan to pass these traditions to my children for the same reasons.

Thank our parents who gave birth to us more than anyone

Receiving comments from friends or family makes me happy the most. It will be naturally passed to next generation because it's one of usual customs we do without any special thinking.

100 days old- yes I dont know much about traditional birthday events

Malonu kad suvažiuoja draugai, vaikai. Namie būna daug artimųjų, būn labai jauku. Tradiciškai vaikai laukia torto pjaustymo. Planuoju perduoti, kad išmoktų suburti artimuosius, nepasimirštų tradiciniai receptai maisto patiekalų, kuriuos gaminame.

i think like my grandma's birthday, a lot of relatives come and wetalk, eat and share things. i think it is nice. i don't think i will have children in the future so sadly this tradition won't pass to my.next generation

Being with friends who cherish me and remember my special day. No children Toma. They suck.

Gimtuvininko kilojimas ant kėdės. Nes visi jau būna pakankamai prigėrę ir labai juokinga kai jie banfo mane iškelti :D Žinoma, nes reikia biškį pavojaus gyvenime :D (pavojus tas, kad tikriausiai iš kėdės tave išvers)

Blowing candles, making home food, yes i plan to pass those traditions

I'd like to meet my family and friends on this day, yet no one is interested in hanging out with me, on my birthday :D I wish my kids won't be so lonelly
