Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with lit candles
is not just for children. 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 10. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. 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 tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in The UK about
100 years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since 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 birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family 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.
