Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday festivity. A cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary to place a
number 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. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort 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 inherent part of any
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 sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday 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 nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
late.
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 at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
