Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday party. A birthday 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 cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good luck for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes send birthday 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 more 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
late.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
