Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with 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 birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort 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 any
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we frequently send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
