Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with 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 cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort 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 any
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in England about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often posted as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! 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 schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
