Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday party. 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 accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.

Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded

Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
