Birthday
points 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 children. 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 10. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good luck 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 festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions over the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in The UK about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards 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 quite another! Send the 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 friends from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
