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 youngsters. It is customary to place a
total 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 lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the 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 custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in England about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we frequently mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
