Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday 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 popular when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is comparatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday celebration. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes mail birthday greeting 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 nearly inexcusable! Send the 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 schoolmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
