notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday party. A cake with lit candles
is not just for kids. It is traditional to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles. 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 custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in The UK about
100 years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards 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 nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
