Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday party. A cake with lit 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 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 relatively
new to birthday tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an integral part of the
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in The UK about
a hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we sometimes send birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has now become a multi-million
dollar business. Online ecards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Not remembering a birthday
is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! 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 a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include schoolmates from school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
