Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is traditional to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in England about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now 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 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.
