Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for kids. It is traditional to place a
total 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 fortune 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 the
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday 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. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday 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 at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
