One of my family ritual is about the birthday of members of my family.

I
don't know how it started because its come down from the side of the
father's family and I never knew about the history of that side.
The ritual involves the following activities: only my family give gifts and
have a little party at midnight, we have breakfast in the morning, we have
lunch about her/his decision of the food, we have dinner with my cousins
family and we sing Happy Birthday before next midnight.
One of my best memories was we are preparing the little party for my sister
while she went home and an earthquake happened then we left home as
safety means. Anyway, there wasnt any injured and we found my sister in
the street, after we continued with the ritual.
