What a coincidence - happy birthday then. :-) You have a list of quite antique customs there. I didn't even know that someone was to wake me up next monday and present me with 31 candles on a cake, and in fact such a thing has neither happened ever in my life nor has anyone ever mentioned anything like that in my presence - though I'd say I have some experience being German. I guess it depends on the area where you're from. Hamburg traditions are of course totally different from Saarland traditions. Oh, you’re born in July, too?

(still missing the Umlaut on this keyboard here) The fairy bread is not meant for eating, isn't it? Looks, ehm...crunchy. By the way, women, 30 years old and still unmarried need to clean door handles (aka 'Klinken putzen'). But it is not as common as the men's sweeping job...and not as much fun. ;-) <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geburtstagsbrauch" rel="nofollow">Check out all German birthday styles.</a> Herzlichen Glueckwunsch Miss V!
