Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. A cake with lit candles
is not just for kids. 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 lit for presentation. People make wishes when blowing
out the birthday candles. 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 tradition. The song was officially published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of the
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday cards started in The UK about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't visit somebody
in person. Today we often post birthday greeting cards even if
we can! Hallmark cards has since become a multi-million
dollar business. 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
belated.
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 friends from school.
Cupcakes make great replacements for birthday cake
at these parties.
