Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
