Happy Birthday to MEEEE!!!

I knew plenty of kids when I was younger whose families had birthday cakes for Jesus on Christmas or Christmas Eve. After all, the whole purpose of Christmas IS TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS, CHEERFULGREEK.

I find it pretty stupid to have a birthday cake for a part of the trinity. My mother-in-law does it and every year I find it hilarious. I keep waiting for Jesus to come have a slice. But, he keeps standing her up.

It wasn't something my family did, either, but I think some do it to further drive home the meaning of Christmas to their kids when they're young. They may not understand all the pieces of the Christmas story, or the sermon at church, but they understand the meaning of a birthday cake.
