details of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for kids. 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 the 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 comparatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
