My family is the least Westernised in my family we didnt celebrate birthdays but my cousin's used to get 100$ in their birthdays while I was broke
Only westernised Somalis who have the flair to integrate do this, those who are brave to create parties for the little ones and invite their school mates round their house for celebratory event is rare indeed in the Somali community.What's wrong with celebrating birthdays? None of you had birthday parties? Your mom never baked cupcakes, cookies and made Sambusa for your class on your birthdays?
