I have closed this thread as it has become very confusing. You cannot change the content as previous answers become irrelevant to the new theme. In future just post a new topic.

I googled using 'spanish phrases cumpleaños fiestas'.
And here some phrases:
¡Feliz cumpleaños!
¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños?
Mi cumpleaños es el xx de abril, etc.
¡No me gusta comprar regalos! ¿a tí si? (espero esté bien escrito 'tí')
¿Qué te regalaron en tu cumpleaños?
¿Te dieron muchos regalos?
¿Donde está el cumpleañero/la cumpleañera?
Necesitamos empacar el regalo.
Necesitamos comprar una tarjeta.
cumpleaños feliz, cumpleaños feliz... que los siga cumpliendo hasta el año diez mil... (estribillo, chorus)
Creo que eso es todo. ¡Qué estés muy bien!
(-Cinco de Mayo- most people here don't even know what the holiday celebrates. It's just a reason to party).
Very true! Even many Mexicans, particularly ones from areas not close to Puebla, don't know what the holiday celebrates. Many of them admit that it is the same for them, like many holidays and birthdays, etc.--just an excuse to party.
Just yesterday I was reading an article about this on SpanishDict.com's blog, which I didn't even know existed until yesterday, and which I would have a hard time remembering how to get back to today.
ONE way is to click on the colorful SpanishDict logo on the top left of the page. That will take you back to what I sometimes get as a homepage. On the right hand side you will see a link for the SpanishDict blog.

Okay but I changed my topic so do you know any holiday phrases?
¡Salud! (-Cinco de Mayo- most people here don't even know what the holiday celebrates. It's just a reason to party).

I found one that shows party phrases in Spanish: Would you like an hors d'oeuvres? Would you prefer the fish or the steak', but you have to filter to too many salutation phrases to find them.

Tengo trece años y tengo una pregunta... ¿Cuántos años tienes?
¡Mi cumpleaños es en 1995!
¡Ojala! si tuviera trece años de nuevo, tengo setenta y tres años, mi
cumpliaños es en marzo y nací en 1936, tu español es muy bueno para alguien
tan joven pero tu cumpliaños no es 1995 eso fue el año de tu nacimiento
entonces naciste en 1995.
Saludos Ken.
Thanks for the birthday lessons,Janice, I have decide to change my topic to that to attract more attention.
Una mujer no hay que decir cuantos años tiene...Pero, esta mujer, que está aprendiendo español, piense que la palabra "cumpléaños" quiere decir "aniversario" en vez del día del nacimiento.
Leo en mi Gran Diccionario Oxford:
cumpleaños m; (of institution etc) aniversario m;
It'll be his fifth birthday. Cumple cinco años;
Happy birthday! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!;
(before n)cake/card/party de cumpleaños;
The birthday boy/girl -- El (niño)/la (niña) del cumpleaños, el cumpleañero/la cumpleañera
