details of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
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.
