Here is Coop singing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus on Christmas Day. My Grandma, Coop's great Grandma has the wonderful tradition. Every year she makes Jesus a birhtday cake. She goes all out with the whole nativity scene on the cake. She leaves a few of the animals off and all the kids get to put a piece on. We sing happy birthday and blow out the candle. This year Coop actually understood I think. He blew out the candle first before his cousins even had a chance to think about it.
I love this tradition becasue it really celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. We always get so caught up in the shopping, presents, food, Santa, etc we seem to forget what it is really all about. Grandma never lets us forget. I plan to carry on this tradition for my children and grandchildren. What a lady! I love her so much!
