In my home, from very small and since I can remember all the birthdays are celebrated from 12 midnight, singing "Happy Birthday" serenade type.
another special celebrations is Christmas day to eve, it is customary in my family decorate the whole house with Christmas decorations and always the youngest in the family placed the star at the height of the tree.

In the New Year's party always ask family wishes twelve accompanied by a toast and a prayer to start the year with many blessings.
