Christmas Poem
The Christmas Birthday Cake
OIP.56HVIapF8f6yxgd4JLKlUQHaFk


When I think of Jesus' childhood
There's a thing I must get straight
If Christmas wasn't Christmas,
How did Jesus celebrate?

I know he didn't have a tree
With lights and all the trim.
I'll bet his mother, Mary,
Baked a Christmas cake for him.

She probably called it birthday cake.
With the candles all aglow.
Then little Jesus made his wish,
Blew 'em out with just one blow.

And little Jesus' friends were there
With presents they would bring.
Since they didn't have the carols,
What fun songs did they sing?

I'll think they sang the birthday song
And had all kinds of fun.
Then Mary cut that birthday cake,
A piece for everyone.

Since Christmas's still his birthday
I rejoice for Jesus sake:
I love the tree and lights and toys,
And I'd like some birthday cake.

I love the poem and not heard of it. I will share this poem with my 9 year old Granddaughter
 
Ah, bakeries. My parents had two bakeries, although they got out around the time I was born (1950). My dad then got a job in a big commercial bakery. He smelled so great when he came home from work!

My two older sisses and I grew up with fresh homemade bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, pies, Danish, kuchen, etc. and took it all for granted. I thought all kids grew up like that, til I was at my neighbor's and she gave us cookies out of a box that were hard as a rock, lol. My mom's cookies were soft and chewy.

My dad especially liked cake decorating. He made wedding cakes for all us kids, and most of our friends too.

Here he is as a young man, long before I was born -- best guess around 1940-45:

FWIW: When I got married the first time, my bride wore a maroon dress that her mother made for her. My dad asked for a piece of the material beforehand and he matched the color of the roses on our cake to the dress. Seems like yesterday, although it was January 1, 1972. :(

Ha, not too long ago my sis and I were reminiscing about watching him make roses out of icing. He could make one and place it on a cake in less than a half a minute. We used to try it and it's WAY harder than he maked it look. But we got to eat our horrible results so it was a win anyway.
