Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with candles
is not just for children. It is traditional 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 luck for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in England about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often sent 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 now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
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 members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
