Celebrating a birthday varies from country to country, in Jamaica the celebrant gets doused with flour and sometimes eggs, at a first birthday in Japan the child is expected to predict their future by choosing from a selection of items or sometimes cards representing items to indicate what their occupation will be. The Dutch people have what they call circle parties where everyone sits in a circle and congratulates the other people on knowing the person having the birthday and no you can't just say congratulations everyone as it would be thought rude. I'm hoping at some point all these other customs are followed by cake otherwise having birthdays would be even less fun.
