Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is customary to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort customarily brings good fortune 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 the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Not remembering 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 social gatherings
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
