Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary 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 lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the 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 relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions over the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in The UK about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often mail birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming popular. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
late.
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.
