Every year on Christmas Day we have a special breakfast which includes bacon and eggs, as well as birthday cake for Jesus. We put some candles on a cake and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. (Many years we have also had to sing Happy Birthday to Bluey as well!) I think we started this tradition after we got the book "My Birthday, Jesus' Birthday" by Holly Davis. In the pictures of this book there is a birthday cake and the girl in the story is saying "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" Several years our birthday cake for Jesus was just a bought chocolate muffin as there is already enough food on Christmas Day, anyhow. Now the cake is usually home made because of our food intolerances. This is just one tradition we have started to help us remember why we celebrate Christmas. What special traditions do you participate in on Christmas Day? Jillian
