Birthday Celebrations from Norway
In Norway most birthday parties consist of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and dishes of red gelatin covered with vanilla sauce. The house is decorated in long, thin colored streamers and candy decorating the table. At the birthday parties guests may go fishing, but not for fish. They play a game known as Fishing for Ice Cream, where everyone pulls up a frozen treat attached to a piece of string.
Norwegian is the language spoken in Norway.
The birthday child stands out in front of their class and chooses a friend to share a little dance while the rest of the class sings a happy birthday song.
Norway's national flag is also displayed outside the home of a birthday person. When important people have birthdays, the streets in Norway are decorated with flags.
