To Decorate Jesus Birthday Cake

Cake is round = because Jesus was born into a world that is round.

1st layer of cake = is brown for our sins.

2nd layer = is red for Jesus' blood shed for our sins.

3rd layer = is green for life = ours in our new heart.

Frosting is white = stands for Jesus' purity & righteousness.

Border of Hearts around cake sides = represents each one of us standing as witnesses for Jesus around the world.

Gold Star in middle of cake top = star of Bethlehem = led wise men to Jesus. Star is 6 pointed =Star of David = Jewish nation in which Jesus is born.

Yellow border around Star = Grace of God encircles us.

Big Red candle in middle of star of David is Jesus.

Light candle then read Christmas story out of Bible. Light each person's small candles out of Jesus' candle & carefully stick in cake. Let our lights shine before men! Sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.

Take photographs for scrapbooks.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!
