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.

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. :)
