Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for children. 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 the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in England about
one 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 greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Not remembering a birthday
on time 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 family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
