When my brother was little, he asked our mom -- Why, if Christmas was the birthday of Jesus, did Jesus not have a birthday cake? Good question.
SO...our family started a new tradition. Each Christmas Eve we have a birthday party for Jesus. We bake a cake, decorate it with yellow frosting with colored coconut to similate hay, and put the baby from the Nativity scene on top. We invite the neighbors and have a birthday party.
What is your favorite Christmas tradition? Does your family do something a bit unusual?
Feliz Navidad!

Hi Lynn,
My favorite Christmas tradition is spending Christmas Eve with my family. It is a tradition handed down from my Danish grandparents, thus we always celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. The time with my family is more important to me than the exchanging of the gifts. Bless you this Christmas!
