Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for kids. It is traditional to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed 10. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles. 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 integral part of any
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often sent 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 electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
