A Happy Birthday Greeting!

Carrot cake in whipped cream frosting. I made
 this cake last year as gifts for friends. The nice
photo  was taken by my loving husband.
Will post my carrot cake recipe here soon.

It's been awhile since I last made an entry in my blog. I had been very busy these last few months. I was busy with school, with a new job, and being a Mom to my two hyperactive kids. 

I posted here an image of a cake in this article. So what's with the cake? What's there to celebrate?

Cakes are usually associated with celebrations and birthdays. And today, we are celebrating the birthday of Jesus! Happy Birthday Jesus!

Why "happy birthday" and not Merry Christmas, some friends ask. Let us all remember that it is indeed the birthday of Jesus Christ that we are celebrating this season.  I know some little children think that Christmas is about those lovely Christmas trees, the abundant food and the new toys and clothes they will get as gifts. Maybe, we the adults, were not able to explain to them the real essence of Christmas. Let us bring back the focus of the celebration to Jesus Christ and not our own merriment. 

To Christians, everyday...most especially today....JESUS...you are the Star! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
