1.In Russia, people love celebrating their birthdays. They usually have birthday parties at the weekend after the birthday and invite as many people as possible.

2. At birthday parties they eat salads and snacks or order pizza, sushi, or burgers. They usually drink juice, coke, or tea. It's very important to have a big cake with tea at the end of the party. They often decorate the cake with candles, and the number of candles is the same as the birthday person's age.

3.They don't usually decorate their houses much, but they can put some lights, paper garlands, or flowers around their homes. What is more, they put presents in beautiful boxes or paper bags.

Sometimes, people choose more active ways of spending their time — they go to quests, theme parks, or other interesting places.
