Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday party. 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 birthday cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good fortune 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 singers have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
