Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is traditional 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. Blowing all the candles out
in one attempt customarily brings good fortune for the birthday
person.
The song, "Happy
Birthday to You" was is relatively
new to birthday custom. The song was published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday party. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions over the years.
Sending
birthday cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently send birthday cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar industry. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming more familiar. Forgetting a birthday
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 relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
