Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with candles
is not just for kids. It is customary to place a
number of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one breath 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 inherent part of any
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in England about
100 years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often 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
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday 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 friends at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
