details of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for children. It is traditional to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lit for display. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. 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 officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in England about
a hundred years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently post birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming accepted. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
late.
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 schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
