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 kids. It is traditional to place a
total 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 presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath 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 celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we frequently 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
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 friends from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
