Just simply think like this... everyone gets one year old on the first day of New Year (cultural aging). and they celebrate their own birthday (personal aging)... I know it's complicated...:roll::wink::razz: cheers, Tim :cool: Hello Valerie,

We have some 'ceremonies' surrounding birth though. I don't really think that word is appropriate as I think we don't have ceremonies for anything but well.. whenever a baby is born people tend to eat this stuff with their friends: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beschuit_met_muisjes Pink ones for if it's a girl, blue ones if it's a boy. I eat it every week though so it's not that special. Except I usually just put it on a normal slice of bread. I don’t think we have anything like that in The Netherlands.

In Judaism, there's a ceremony at the 8 day mark. For girls, it's nice and painless: a "baby naming" (you don't give a Jewish child a name before the 8 day mark). For boys, though... well, as Mel Brooks put it, they "snip the tip." I'm glad I don't remember my eight-day ceremony... :S I wonder if the reason we wait 8 days before naming the baby has to do with infant mortality, and waiting a certain amount of time to ensure the child doesn't, um, die. 8 days is a far cry from 100 days! I don't remember much from my really young birthdays. What I do remember is that there were always TONS of adults around... often outnumbering the child guests!
