Happy Birthday Jesus!
While history shows that the birth of Jesus was actually more around October, December is the month that was chosen to celebrate it so I'll stick with it and say Happy Birthday Jesus! :)
Ever since we heard this song a few years back our family has loved it. It's just...perfect. Maybe it's the kids singing it, maybe it's the simplicity of it, but for me I think it is because of the message. And while, as a friend pointed out to me recently, the celebration of Christmas has become more cultural than spiritual it doesn't mean that we should just throw our hands up in the air, go with the flow of society, and forget about why we celebrate the birth of Jesus. We celebrate his birth which led to his life lived out fully for us to end in taking on the payment for our sins. Without his birth there would be no death and we wouldn't have the option of eternal life.
So, Happy Birthday Jesus, we celebrate you in thankfulness for what you did for us!
