Birthday
details of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for kids. It is customary 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 lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles on the cake. 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 the
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions over the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often post 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
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the birthday card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
