Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A birthday 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 10. 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 effort customarily brings good fortune 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 singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in England about
100 years ago. Cards were often posted as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently mail birthday 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 more familiar. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is nearly inexcusable! Send the card even if its
tardy.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and relatives would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates at school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
