Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for children. It is traditional 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 lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in The UK about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often post birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
