Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. 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 the
birthday party. 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 you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.
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 schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
