Children always have a very good time on their birthdays. A few days before their birthdays, children begin to ask their parents for presents. Often their parents give them new clothes, interesting books, something nice to eat or to play as presents. In some families grandparents will also buy something for their grandchildren. But to children the best way to celebrate is having a birthday party. They can talk, eat different kinds of food and play games for a long time together. They give each other presents like birthday cakes, flowers. Sometimes they go to the park, or see a film on their birthdays. They hope they can have more than one holiday every year.
