Celebrating half birthdays: The new trend from the USA – Economy

It is celebrated, hated, and sometimes ignored – the birthday. But the fact is: it only takes place once a year. Or not? A new trend from the USA shows that people celebrate twice a year. The hashtag #halfbirthday has almost a million posts on Instagram. While most of the posts show toddlers as young as six months old wearing birthday hats, there are also adults celebrating themselves again, exactly six months after their actual birthday.
