Palman Cultural Except:
Birthdays
As on Earth, birthdays are celebrated by parties, and the amount of people who attend vary from person to person. Some things remain constant, however. At some point in the party the eating table is cleared and food placed in the center of it (the food is often sandmelon cakes).
Every attendee and the birthday person takes a lighted candle in hand and circles the table. One by one the guests announce their candles and what their candle represents, then set them down around the food. The candle representation is often a cryptic word or two that describes the present that person is giving. After all the attendees have set their candles down, the birthday person lifts his/her candle and sets it down with the others, using the words "And the last candle; the candle that is me." Then he/she blows all the candles out.
The candles need not all go out at once, but needless to say it puts a limit on the size of a party a poor-winded person would hold. At this point all people around the table join hands and recite "Sa gi na. Sa gi na nei gen." Though modern Palmans have forgotten the precise meanings of those syllables, they believe that at one point in time it was a pseudo-spell to age the person whose birthday had come to pass; thus the reason the word "gen" is included, when the technique gen is known to age living organisms prematurely. After the recitation a preselected friend or family member of the birthday person says "Foi" as he/she uses a modified version of the technique to relight all the candles. With that, the next year of the birthday person's life begins. This entire "ceremony" is often held in the dark, though some people prefer it in the light.
After the ceremonial aging, the party-goers are allowed to eat the food surrounded by the candles and the opening of presents may commence. The birthday person will often attempt to guess the nature of the presents by the clues that were given during the presentation of the candles. The idea is for the hints to be clever and possible to figure out, while at the same time not making the answer too easy to discover.
