Happy Birthday, Jesus!

(My 4th entry in the Christmas Journal photo challenge -- I know my 2nd pic here isn't great, but it was the only one I took with the candle lit.)

Our tradition is to have blueberry muffins on Christmas morning.


Each person gets a muffin (or two) with a candle in it. We light the candles and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

(Day 357 of 365)

Then everyone gets to blow out the candles in their muffins.

The year we started the tradition, I baked the muffins Christmas morning. The candles started melting when we put them in the still-warm muffins. Now I always bake them the night before, but Josh usually has to remind me to do it. :)

  2. nice tilt on the first one. Makes the shot a bit more interesting. That old used pan gives this a real country kitchen feel to it. My mom used to have muffin pans like that!!! where is the butter?!! mmmmm

  3. What a great tradition! This year I meant to make cupcakes for Jesus...you just reminded me of how important it is to create those traditions. I agree with Erin and Erica, that was a great angle on the first one!
