Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday party. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is traditional 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 display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. 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 custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
tardy.
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.
