The friends are invited to lunch and noodles are served to wish a child a long life.

  14. Fun to Know • MEXICO: THE BIRTHDAY PIÑATA • Mexicans sure know how to have a good time, and it’s no surprise that they have what is in my opinion the most fun tradition for children: The birthday piñata filled with candy. Grab a blindfold and a broomstick, and let the celebration begin. I don’t know about you, but I certainly would trade my birthday cake for a piñata any day.
