Picture this: you´re getting older, so you get yourself a cake, you gather all your friends, you throw a party to celebrate...and now you´re being hunted by evil spirits, you´re broke because that cake of yours costed a fortune, and you´re not even sure how old you are because no one even knows what day or year it is anyway. Well, that´s how people used to do birthdays back in the day. Silly little us thought birthdays were just "something we celebrate" but the history behind this very popular celebration dates back so long ago TIME HADN´T EVEN BEEN INVENTED YET. That´s right, we´re talking pre-calendar times here. So press play to find out all about the first birthday ever, why candles and singing are a must, and which month of the year makes the most bebés (that´s baby in Spanish).
