Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is traditional to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort 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 any
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in The UK about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
late.
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 schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
