Everyone should have a birthday I supposed, but some may not have one. I supposed that for those that has one is very fortunate, to mark the day that he or she has managed successfully through a safe immortality threshold and awaits for the next to come for next year. Agree ?Some would tend to say that "birthday" is not an essential celebration because if you live life fullest, it is a birthday everyday. True to some degree for that statement but it is still considered as an accomplishment to have lived todate for a causeful celebration, surrounded by loved ones and friends. Well, if this is not, what else reasons can we look forward for a celebration and a family or network ties to take place. We, human beings are a creature that looks for opportunities and excuses to fill those filler gaps in life to make it more perfect or less visible to detect for a "deficiency" in fraternity needs, hence parties and a reason to have a cake was born and still thriving in society for that sharing of the sweets.
It is always the tradition to make a wish before the candle blowing ceremony after a wishful Birthday song rendition from the folks, I wonder if it ever comes true, for me, it has not been answered, hence, the blowing continues., exceptionally has more candles than it was first started.
Well, no qualms or complaints, we are blessed to have the cake each year and more candles to blow rather than a cake for an altar or a blessing ceremony, for a 6 foot underground arrangement, I supposed not.
Folks, continue your old tradition then, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To ........
