Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for youngsters. It is traditional 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 ten. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in England about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
