Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for kids. 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 ten. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often sent off 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 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 members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
