Some Thoughts on Birthdays Etc
Yesterday evening my youngest Grandson lost a tooth as it is normal for his age!!
He was expecting Tooth Fairy to come during the night and give him some coins and take away his tooth which was kept under his pillow!!
Indeed, Tooth Fairy did not disappoint him; he got a bunch of coins in a zip lock cover with a sweet covering letter!!!
Up to a certain age Kids believe in these Fairy Tales, like believing in Santa during Christmas Time. There is charm in these types of imaginations for Kids.
We always celebrate our grandchildren birthday with Birthday Treasure Hunt, (like keeping some gifts in different places in home with a clue to find each one) and the whole day is celebrated by him with his very close friends in some amusement park, etc
After all it is his Birthday, and we feel it is just right for him to spend time with his school mates!! We also make it a point to share cakes with his school mates either on that day or on the next day!!
Whenever we are in India on any Birthday, we also make Kids to spend time in an orphanage and share food with them; also donate useful things for the orphanage.
Our daughter also does the same thing when celebrating her children’s birthday in UK.
These are very common among Indians moved over to Europe, US/Australia , Canada and other Western Countries, but I do not know much about how Indians Celebrate their kids birthdays in Singapore/Malaysia/ and other countries.
Very rarely I have seen this type of celebration in India, they normally invite lot of Guests, spend lot of money on Food, Homam, or going to Temple and Archana Etc.
Every culture has different way of spending any occasion, and parents do what is best for them and their Kids, no argument about that.
