Birthdays are celebrated in countless ways all over the world.  Some families have passed down traditions for generations.  Others stick to their culture's customs.  Regardless of the celebrations' origins, they all make the birthday person feel loved and appreciated.

In the United States, the most-common birthday tradition is to throw a party.  These celebrations usually include brightly colored balloons, streamers, and signs.  In 2021, the United States Postal Service issued a Forever stamp picturing some of these decorations.
