Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. 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 tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday celebration. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
one hundred years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you 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 industry. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
