Birthday
details of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with 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 popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted 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 fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in England about
100 years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
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 their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
