Birthday
A day when we know we’ve grown a year older. Some grow up to be little wiser, some grow up as a little more mischievous. But everyone likes to celebrate the day though, with their special ones. All through life we love getting presents on our birthday.
It is these celebrations and presents make us feel that we are still loved, cared for, and wanted around.
Birthdays have always been synonymous with a party, gaiety, and fun. Preparations for the celebrations are equally exciting as the get together itself.
We get special attention and royal treatment from family and friends.
In some cultures of the world, they do not prefer to celebrate the day for the thought that a year has reduced from their life. But for most who do celebrate, the day marks a new beginning and a resolve to start something fresh.
Each of the birthday celebrations has a tradition attached to it.
The party was made cheerfully noisy and lively to ward off the evil spirits, and protect the loved ones who were celebrating their birthday.
The cake tradition began with the English in the Middle Ages, when a person had to blow out all the candle in one go, and only then would their secret wish come true.
The age numeral came to be known as champagne birthday or golden birthday when it was same as the birth date.
Some gifts have also become symbolic, like birth stones are given according to the zodiac sign under which the person was born.
Even the flowers presented on a birthday are symbolic of the person’s age.
The happy birthday song sung by all is more than a 100 years old and was purchased by Warner Communication two decades ago for $22 million. It also is one of the three most popular English songs around the world.
So make sure the next time you wish someone happy birthday, you do so with the right message and right gifts, to make their special day memorable with your best efforts.
