Seeing that tomorrow (12/23) is my birthday, I figured I'd come up with this topic: Are there any known interesting practices involving birthdays or "coming of age" ceremonies in the Realms, namely amongst various human societies or cultures of other humanoids (Dwarves, Elves, etc.)? I don't know THAT much of such but I figured "Why not talk about it?" 
So, any insights, folks? |

You know, I could see it that Lathander's clergy (Lliira's too) might actually make and sell AT COST celebratory materials for name day parties, but with some "flair" that reminds people of Lathander and/or Lliira in them. I could also see them offering their services at such parties (i.e. Lliiran priestesses might show up to oversee a celebratory dance by the celebrant... one that often leads to them picking a person to dance with them when they are also older... refusing to dance being deeply frowned upon when its someone's name day request). Of course, Lliiran temples would be less likely to be found in the countryside, but Lathander's are found all over the place. I could see Lathander's clergy growing lots of flowers expressly for the purpose of decorating parties. |

Well, there was this answer on "name days".
Also, monarchs in Cormyr celebrate it the British way. |
