Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an essential
part of the birthday festivity. A birthday cake with lit candles
is not just for youngsters. It is customary to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday 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 my 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 the
birthday festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various interpretations over the years.
Sending
birthday greeting cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often sent off as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we frequently 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. Not remembering a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the card even if its
late.
Birthday
parties have become celebrations
where friends and family would bring gifts and goodies
to the person having a birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
