Birthday Bad Luck
Superstitions exist everywhere around the world, and even you might believe in one superstition or another, whether it’s seeing a black cat or sitting at the edge of the table. Birthdays are another interesting topic; there are different beliefs, superstitions and ways to celebrate them all over the world. For example, in Germany and Argentina, it is considered bad luck to wish someone a happy birthday before the actual date.
The same goes for Italy, where it is also a tradition to pull the birthday person’s ear the same number of times as their age (that could take a while). We could do another full article just about the beliefs and traditions that revolve around birthdays! Every celebration is different in every part of the world, and that is what makes birthdays even more special.
