Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is traditional 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 10. 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 published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post birthday greeting 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 more familiar. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
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.
