points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
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 popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my 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 the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions over the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in The UK about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often post birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Forgetting a birthday
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 from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
