Many people know that it is not a good idea to congratulate someone on their birthday before the holiday.
In addition, gifts should not be given ahead of time.
Despite the wide popularity of this sign, not everyone knows how to decipher it.
So, why did the ban on untimely birthday greetings come about?
What is the reason for the ban?
According to popular belief, a Guardian Angel descends upon a person on their birthday.
If you say nice words too early, the good spirit will ignore all the wishes that come from the lips of the one who congratulates. Therefore, happiness, health and success may pass by the hero of the future celebration.
It is also believed that evil spirits appear during the holiday. But the presence of delicious food helps to appease them.
However, congratulating and giving gifts before the birthday can lead to the spirits being attracted at an inopportune moment: the lack of food will make them very angry. This can lead to trouble.
Is it possible to congratulate after a birthday?
The sign remains relevant the next day after the celebration.
Therefore, congratulating a person and giving him gifts is only worth it on his birthday. Doing it earlier or later is not recommended.
