points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. 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 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 my birthday candles on the cake. 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 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.
Sending
birthday cards started in The UK about
100 years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark greeting cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family 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.
