History Of Birthday Celebration<\/b><\/p>\n

Birthdays have been celebrated since ancient times, with Egyptians being among the first to start the tradition. They marked the “birth” of their pharaohs, who were considered gods. Moving ahead to modern times, the popular “<\/span>Happy Birthday to You<\/span><\/a>” song originates from the melody of “Good Morning to All,” composed by American sisters Patty and Mildred J. Hill in 1893. The song was created for easy singing by young children and has become the timeless birthday anthem we know today. The combination of melody and lyrics that we recognize as “Happy Birthday to You” was first published in 1912.<\/span><\/p>\n
