Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit 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 my birthday candles. 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 published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often mail birthday greeting 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 familiar. Forgetting 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 would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
