Birthday Cake Traditions.
Birthday Cakes are usually elaborately decorated and some times follow a theme having to do with a talent or interest of the Birthday person. Select this link to view our Western Christmas Ornaments.
The Birthday Cake Tradition is for the cake to be presented covered with the same number of lit candles as the persons age. The Birthday person makes a wish and tries to blow out all the candles in one breath. If successful and he or she does not tell anyone the wish, then it is supposed to come true. Some people add an extra candle, “One to Grow On,” to help bring the Birthday person extra luck during the year. Select this link to view our Unique Christmas Ornaments.

Christmas Cracker Traditions.
Christmas Crackers are an integral part of Christmas celebrations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and in other Commonwealth countries. A Cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper. The Cracker is pulled by two people and, much in the manner of a wishbone, the cracker splits unevenly. The split is accompanied by a small bang produced by the effect of friction on a chemically impregnated card strip, similar to that used in a cap gun. Select this link to view our Christmas Books.
Traditionally the person with the larger portion of Cracker empties the contents from the tube and keeps them. Another variation lets each person have their own cracker and keep its contents regardless of whose end the goodies were in. Typically these contents are a colored paper hat or crown, a small toy or other trinket and a motto, joke or piece of trivia on a small strip of paper. Crackers are often pulled after Christmas dinner or at parties. Select this link to view our Unique Baby Gifts.

Christmas Stocking.
Christmas stocking is an empty sock or sock-shaped bag that children in the United States and some other cultures hang on Christmas Eve so that Santa Claus can fill it with small toys, candy, fruit, coins, or other small gifts when he arrives. These small items are often referred to as stocking stuffers or stocking fillers. In some Christmas stories, the contents of the Christmas Stocking are the only toys the child receives at Christmas from Santa Claus. Other presents are wrapped up in wrapping paper. Tradition in western culture dictates that a child who behaves badly during the year will receive only a piece of coal. By tradition, the stocking is hung on the fireplace, but, since many modern homes do not have fireplaces, stockings may be hung in almost any location. The tradition started up in Germany. One traditional practice is to reserve the stocking for five gifts that stimulate each of the five senses, for example: Something to eat, like fruit or candy. A toy or other item that makes a noise (this can even include nuts to crack). An item that is visually pleasing in any way like jewelry, cuff-links or a coloring book.
