Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary 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 ten. The candles are all lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort customarily brings good luck 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 inherent part of the
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in The UK about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. 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 social gatherings
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
