Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for kids. It is customary to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted 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 comparatively
new to birthday custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Posting
birthday greeting cards started in The UK about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you 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 business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Forgetting 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 social gatherings
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.
