WE MADE JESUS A BIRTHDAY CAKE AND SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM! I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND NOTHING ABOUT SANTA AND ALL THE PRESENTS. MY UNCLE TERRY IS A PREACHER AND HE HAS A BOY AND GIRL THAT ARE NOW GROWN AND IN COLLEGE, BUT THEY NEVER DID THE SANTA THING. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS SO CRAZY AND WONDERED HOW IN THE WORLD THEY DID THAT,BUT BEING A MOMMY I UNDERSTAND NOW. IT IS SO EASY FOR KIDS AND ADULTS, FOR THAT MATTER TO GET SO WRAPPED UP IN SANTA AND PRESENTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS THAT I WISH SANTA CAME A WEEKEND EARLIER OR LATER AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CHRISTMAS. IT WOULD MAKE IT MUCH EASIER FOR KIDS TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS!

That's one of our traditions, too. We started baking Jesus a birthday cake on the boys' 1st Christmas. My boys "recognize" Santa but they've never asked who he is or what he does. So, we've never made a big deal about it and we don't give them gifts from Santa. I agree that it can be confusing for them!
