points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for kids. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lit 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 comparatively
new to birthday custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of any
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in England about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often sent as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
