When it is a Canadian birthday their nose is greased so they will have good luck.Families serve homemade birthday cakes decorated with colored sprinkles.Between the cake layers you might find a coin wrapped in wax paper.The guest who gets the piece of cake with the coin in it is the first at all the party games.

The most important thing is the Christmas tree.Kids put their shoes in front of the fireplace so Santa can fill them with gifts. Families go to church at midnight and eat supper when they get home.

Canadians celebrate Mothers Day by making a Mothers Day card. Moms get a day off from work.Their husbands give them flowers and chocolates.
