Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for kids. 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 ten. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. 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 tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit 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 quite another! Send the card even if its
belated.
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 from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
