Birthday
details of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday festivity. A cake with lit 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 relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in England about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards 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
late.
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 classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
