~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each year we have our family Christmastime dinner, and for dessert, we always serve a birthday cake, complete with candles. Of course everyone sings, "Happy Birthday."
It all began with the first grandchild. I wanted to think of a way to teach about the birth of Christ. Once a child has experienced their own first birthday, they understand a birthday cake, so when our first grandchild reached that age, I served a "Happy Birthday, Jesus." It quickly became a family tradition.
When the grandchildren became teenagers, I thought about eliminating it; but they insisted that we continue. I was happy to learn that as big as they were, it was still important to them, and so we continued. Here's our cake for this year. I had Blue candles and Blue flowers and Blue trim on it. The cake is a four-layer, yellow cake from Publix, and with fudge frosting, and this year--pineapple filling. It sure was good.
The Jim Shore caroler dog (on the right of the cake) is singing, "Bark, the Herald Angels Sing."
One of our special Blue Monday participants is celebrating her special birthday today. Click here to wish BJ a ♬ Happy Birthday.

Tha'ts a great tradition! Happy birthday Jesus! And happy new year to all of you!
Happy New Year Sally!!!
That beautiful cake looks yummy and I bet it tastes good, too. Wishing you and yours a wonderful new year of joy!
We used to do a birthday cake for Jesus when the kids were younger. It would have been a good tradition to continue but somehow we let it slip away, I think because we had an overabundance of sweets as it was. Maybe we'll start it up again when grandkids come along. Love the blue flowers!
Hey smiling Sally...love the words on that delish chocolate cake.
Happy fun blessed New Year 2013

I had a lot of trouble trying to get my image to download. Happy New Year Sally.
Kids are funny no matter how grown up they get they insist on the same traditions!!
Happy New Year!
Hi Sally, We're home and happy to be here. Our trip was wonderful and we are already wondering when we can do this again. You were right, there was lots of castles. Most of them were uninhabited. There was so much history and I loved that the best...besides the great food. HA!
I love your Birthday cake wishes to Jesus. It is a wonderful tradition. Your family is inspiring. I mean it.
Happy and healthy New years in 2013.
Blessings and love,
Jeanne
Exquisite blues, you have a fun New Year's Eve.
I wish you a 2013 full of dreams and hopes fulfilled.
Hi, Sally....the cake is just beautiful...and blue. :)
Thanks so much for the Happy Birthday singing and hummm-ing...:))
Wow, it's hard for me to believe I am 75 years old...until I look in the mirror...:))

Another beautiful cake. I love your tradition. Thank you for sharing it. And thank you for Blue Monday. I am making some changes with the New Year but Blue Monday is one that is staying! I love our weekly visits. Thank you for having us for your weekly parties! May your week and your New Year be filled with smiles. Should I find some pretty little Blue sandles for warmer weather?
Smiles,
Sherry
Happy Belated Blue Monday and a Right On Time Happy New Years *hugs*
What a wonderful tradition you started with your children. The cake is beautiful, the flowers on it are so pretty. Pineapple in between must have been soooo delish. I've never had that type of filling.
I wish you all best for 2013 and look forward to much sharing...
