SPECIAL DAYS FOR FAMILIES

All around the world, families celebrate days together. Traditions for these days are as different as the countries and the people who celebrate them. Some of these traditions may surprise you.

Getting married is one of the most important days in the lives of many people around the world. In Germany, the friends and family of the bride and groom gather a day before the wedding. They break dishes, flower pots, bottles, and plates. Then the young couple has to clean it all up! This tradition is called polterabend. Germans believe that it brings good luck to the new couple. Cleaning up the mess together also symbolizes that they’ll have to work together through the good and bad times in their life.

Families in most countries have a special day to celebrate mothers. In Serbia, this day is on the second Sunday before Christmas. On that day, children sneak into their mother’s bedroom and tie her feet with ribbon so that she can’t get out of bed. Then they shout, “Mother’s Day, Mother’s Day! What will you pay to get away?” Then the mother gives them small treats and presents as payment so that the kids ‘free’ her.

In China, they say that babies are one year old when they are born. After that, all children celebrate their birthday on New Year’s Day because that’s when they grow a year older. Actual birthdays are usually celebrated with a big family meal. The tradition is that the ‘birthday boy’ or ‘birthday girl’ should stuff their mouth with as many long noodles as they can and then eat them. This is because in Chinese culture, long noodles symbolize a long life.
