Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit 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. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort 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 integral part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in The UK about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
