Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for kids. 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 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 tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! 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.
