points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday party. A 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 birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted 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 custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in England about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person 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 accepted. Forgetting a birthday
on time 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 members 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.
