And for another tradition we all love, how about a few facts about the beginning of Birthday Parties,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tradition started in Europe a long time ago when it was feared evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would to come be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. At first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday celebration (maybe this is how the tradition of birthday crowns began?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As time went by, children became included in birthday celebrations. The first children’s birthday parties occurred in Germany and were called Kinderfeste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
