Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is traditional to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune 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 integral part of the
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in England about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
