One of my very favorite Payne family traditions is baking Jesus' birthday cake with my children. We always bake a cake, and although our Santa plate says "cookies", it's cake. The cake is completely childmade with sprinkles galore, candles, decorations, etc. We bake the cake on Christmas Eve, and we leave the first piece for Santa (on this plate) along with some milk (in this cup). Then on Christmas Day, we serve the cake (minus one piece and after singing Happy Birthday) for our after dinner dessert to our family and extended family. I love this tradition, because we get to bake, we get to eat, but mainly because we get to honor Jesus on his birthday. After all that's what it's all about....receiving the best gift of all!
