This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions that we started when our oldest daughter, Mary, was young. We wanted a simple way to remind her that Christmas was about Jesus birth. One of our desserts for Christmas dinner each year since has been a frosted "birthday" cake. The girls decorate it ahead of time for baby Jesus.
After Christmas dinner, we put some candles on the cake. We then light them and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. The youngest child then blows out the candles. This is a simple tradition but a small one that once again reminds us the real reason for the season.
While you are making out your Christmas dinner menu this year think about including a birthday cake for Jesus. If you have children present for your meal, think about lighting some candles on it and singing Happy Birthday.
