they’re always helpful. If you want to give an
original gift, however, there are selections that are

Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. A 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 birthday cake. Numeral candles are popular 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 luck 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 integral part of the
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we frequently mail birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Forgetting a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family members would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
