Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday party. A cake with lit 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 popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. 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 luck for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in England about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently post birthday greeting 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 popular. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.

at these parties.
