on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for kids. It is traditional to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.

birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we frequently send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
belated.
