Birthday Party Surprise
Birthday is the name given to the particular date each year on which many people in many cultures celebrate the anniversary of their birth. It is often marked by a birthday party when gifts are given to the person celebrating the birthday. It is also customary to treat the person celebrating their birthday as “special” on this day, either generally acceding to their wishes, or subjecting them to a rite of transition.
It is thought the large-scale celebration of birthdays in Europe began with the cult of Mithras, which originated in Persia but was spread by soldiers throughout the Roman Empire. Such celebrations were uncommon previously so practices from other contexts such as the Saturnalia were adapted for birthdays. Because many Roman soldiers took to Mithraism, it had a wide distribution and influence throughout the empire until it was supplanted by Christianity.
Surprise parties are very common for birthdays. At most birthday surprise parties, guests arrive approximately one hour earlier than the honored person does. They assume hiding positions, and as the honored person walks in the front door, everyone emerges from their hiding positions yelling, "Surprise!"
For many surprise birthday parties, it is generally considered a good tactic to shock the honored person. Streamers, silly string, and balloons can be used to great effect. All evidence of a party, like decorations, should not be visible from the outside.
