Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A 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 lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the 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 inherent part of the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Posting
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting 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 quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
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 friends from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
