on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with lit candles
is not just for youngsters. 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 display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.

Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published

Sending
birthday greeting cards started in England about
100 years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.

where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
