How was your little one's bday? In the Polish culture, the first birthday is the biggest one, followed by your 18th. But the fanfare depends on the family. Some have full parties as if for adults, others just close family. Either way, there is a tradition of picking between three items on the day of the 1st bday - a prayer book, shot glass, or cash. It's supposed to tell the fortune for the child's future. In my case and that of my two siblings (we each picked a different item), it looks to be true!
