Let's celebrate!


I've recently opened an on-line store that specializes in gift baskets and containers for any kind of occasion.  Since opening it's been amazing to see the huge variety of things we celebrate. I'm not talking only about the big "Hallmark" occasions, but the everyday things that might seem ordinary to some, but carry tremendous significance for others.

My curiosity about occasions and celebrations has definitely been piqued. What makes us celebrate the way we do? What's the cultural significance of celebrations? What are some of the traditions, both old and new, that surround occasions?  What kind of music and decorations go best with celebrations?

I hope, through this forum, to provide some interesting, entertaining and useful information about occasions and the ways in which we celebrate them.

First up -- Birthdays!  Stay tuned.
