Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for children. It is customary 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 on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
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.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in The UK about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! 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 a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
