We’ve spent December focusing our hearts on Christ and His glorious coming!
On Saturday, we’ll have have treats and hot punch (recipe below) and have our family Candlelight Service.
Then on Sunday, we’ll celebrate Jesus’ birth here on earth with birthday cake and presents and fellowship with family.
Have a blessed Christmas!
The Light of the world has come!

I never thought to do a birthday cake to celebrate the birth of Christ. I think this would be such a great surprise to bring a cake over to my parents` house for Christmas dinner. The cake would read ” Happy Birthday Jesus” as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas,and that is God`s Love for us all. Thank you for the idea. God bless and Merry Christmas
Amy says
That would be nice!
Teresa says
I think we will have to make this. Have not found a receipt of yours that has not been a hit with us yet:)
Amy says
That’s good to hear! Sometimes I wonder if I actually am a good cook since I’m pretty sure my husband and kids would EAT ANYTHING! lol
Amy says
We’re doing birthday cake too. This year it’s chocolate cake with candy canes crushed on the white icing. Our young kids can really relate to the birthday cake for Jesus.
