Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for youngsters. It is traditional to place a
number 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 display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. 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 officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in The UK about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include friends from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
