Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for kids. It is traditional to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted 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 comparatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in The UK about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. 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 celebrations
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.
