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 youngsters. 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 10. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Posting
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since 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 nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
tardy.
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 friends at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
