notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with lit candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good luck 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 inherent part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when you 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 ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
