Приложение 2
Birthday
Most Americans celebrate their birthdays on the day on which they were born. Like in Russia,
friends and relatives share in the celebration. However, unlike in Russia, birthday parties have a
more spontaneous, less planned guest list and agenda.
A birthday person is not expected to spend his special day in the kitchen! Something simple but
elegant (not something you would eat any day) will suffice for this occasion.
In the United States an adult person having a birthday feels no particular social obligation to
invite guests home for festivities. This time is usually reserved for the family and close family
friends. Co -workers may have a group gathering at coffee break time with cake and ice cream
and a small gift, for which all have contributed.
Children may bring cupcakes and candy to school or distribute invitations to their classmates for
a party to be held at their home. A cake is baked, group games are played, and prizes and
souvenirs are passed out to all of the guests. Serving of the decorated birthday cake is the
highlight of the birthday celebration for the guests. First the cake is equipped with candles, one
candle for each year of the birthday person's life. Then the candles are lit and everyone sings
"Happy Birthday to You," after which the birthday person makes a “secret wishand blows the
candles out.
The custom of putting candles on a birthday cake is said to have started about 200 years ago in
Germany. It was considered good luck to blow out all of the candles in one blow. Now it is
considered as assurance that the birthday wish will come true. The custom of singing “Happy
Birthday to You” began about 100 years ago in America when Mildred and Patty Hill made up
the song which has since become a big hit. For the birthday person the highlight of the
celebration is often the opening of the birthday presents. It used to be that "thank you" notes
were written to acknowledge the gift givers for their thoughtfulness. Now, more and more, this
custom is reserved for the very formal gift-giving occasion of the wedding. The most common
way to wish someone a happy birthday, however, is with a simple birthday card, a custom which
began in England about 100 years ago. Some typical examples of simple birthday greetings are:
On your mark, get ready, go! It's time for you to steal the show! - Happy Birthday!
"Today's your day, so stay tuned in for birthday fun that makes you grin!"
"You're #1, so have fun on your special day! Happy Birthday!"
They serve as testimony to the fact that in the United States the focus is definitely on the
individual, at least on that one very special birthday each year.
