points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday 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 accepted when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. 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 custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in The UK about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often 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 popular. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
