gefen: kiddush day? Might be a bit hard, though, considering that I didn’t have a kiddush until I was a year and a half (the shul was under construction, etc. etc.).
We celebrate birthdays in my family just not SUCH a big deal. Like we have a cake and we decorate the kitchen and the birthday kid gets to pick dinner. Just cute stuff, nothing fancy.
TO slightly change the subject, what’s with the recent trend in making crazy-fancy bas mitzvahs? My sister’s going to all her friends’ ones and they are literally through the roof. They’re fancier than a lot of bar mitzvahs that I’ve been to.
