today, it was great .because we celebrated birthday of lenda and took many photo with my classmate .when , back to home . I have been thinking a lot about birthday . some countries believe that the "Holy day" ,but there are also countries that not believe it .
in Saudia ,before 5-10 years ago . there is not any interest for that day .I don't even remember that I invited my friends to my birthday .I have seen that in the movies hahahaha. anyway , this may be because of religion or customs (lore) ,I don't know exactly.
Now, birthday in saudi has become the most popular in recent year .
Although, birthday tradition are quite similar in some countries to day , not every one clebrates in the sameway , I remember our neighbor(he 's Indian). he invited us to his son's birthday . the birthday was different . his son was head is shaved,they believe that protect them from fire (In Indian religion) , remove of the child's hair cleanse the child from of any mistake in a past . and his son in birthday goes to school wearing colorful clothes.
Finally, I like this different cultures, this subject was interesting for me and wishing you the happiest of birthdays.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you again for making this birthday so special for me. I was genuinely touched by all of your kindness.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I must agree with Mina that I enjoyed reading about your experiences with birthdays in KSA and with other cultures. It is interesting that we make such a big deal of birthday celebrations in the U.S., but it is certainly fun to have your own special day to celebrate with the people who are important to you. Perhaps our focus on celebrating birthdays has to do with the focus on "individualism" in our culture. It is also interesting to see other countries adopting the Western birthday traditions. I was amazed that everyone had a version of the English "Happy Birthday" song in their own language!
Walcome to my blog .
