Birthday gifts and Candles
on the birthday cake are an essential
part of the birthday celebration. A cake with lit candles
is not just for children. It is customary to place a
total of candles equal to the person's age on top of
the birthday 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 on the cake. Blowing all the candles out
in one effort customarily brings good luck 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 festivity. Numerous vocalists have also recorded
various renditions through out the years.
Posting
birthday cards started in Great Britain about
100 years ago. Originally cards were often sent 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 since become a multi-million
dollar business. Online electronic cards or online birthday card
messages are also becoming familiar. Forgetting a birthday
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 their birthday. Children's birthday
parties often include classmates at school.
Cupcakes make great substitutions for birthday cake
at these parties.
