Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for children. It is traditional to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. 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 effort customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in The UK about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
