Birthday
notes of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an important
part of the birthday festivity. A cake with 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 cake. Numeral candles are accepted when the number
of candles exceed ten. The candles are all lighted for display. People make wishes when blowing
out my birthday candles. 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 inherent part of the
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings through out the years.
Mailing
birthday greeting cards started in England about
one hundred years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when you couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we often 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 familiar. Forgetting a birthday
on time is one thing, forgetting the birthday card all
together is quite another! Send the birthday card even if its
belated.
Birthday
parties have become social gatherings
where friends and family members 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.
