Birthday
points of interest:
Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake have become an important
part of the birthday festivity. A 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 birthday 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 published
in 1935 and has since become an inherent part of any
birthday party. Numerous singers have also recorded
various renderings over the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Cards were often mailed as an
"apology" when a person couldn't call upon somebody
in person. Today we sometimes post 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 popular. Not remembering 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.
