Things You Never knew about Birthdays – Interesting Facts
Why It Really Is All About Birthdays!
Everyday more than 18 million people sing Happy Birthday.
In March 2009 experts estimated that the world population grew to 6.6 billion people and is forecast to continue to escalate, meaning of course, more birthdays.
Every year you share your birthday with more than 19 million people.
It is estimated that you are never more than 10 days from the birthday of a close friend or family member.
All of these facts really do make it clear to us just how much of role birthdays play in all of our lives. Birthdays and their celebrations are times when happy memories are made, the whole family get together and commemorate the day someone they care about was born. When you look back over the years birthdays are landmarks in people’s lives, what you did for your 16th birthday, your 18th birthday or your 21st will never be forgotten and neither will one or two presents that someone got you that you will remember forever.
Even more interesting facts about Birthdays:
More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month (about 8-9% of all people). July and September are close behind!
