of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.

"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody

we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
late.
