Reflecting on Faith: The Importance of Saying Happy Birthday Jesus

"Happy Birthday Jesus" is a phrase that encapsulates the Christian perspective on Christmas, emphasizing the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth as the true meaning of the holiday. This concept reminds believers to focus on the religious significance of Christmas amidst the commercial and secular aspects of the season.

The phrase is often used in various contexts within Christian communities. It appears on decorations, greeting cards, and church banners. Many families incorporate it into their holiday traditions, such as singing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus on Christmas morning or baking a birthday cake for Jesus as part of their Christmas dinner.

For children, the idea of Jesus' birthday can make the religious aspect of Christmas more relatable and exciting. Sunday schools and Christian education programs often use this concept to teach children about the nativity story and the importance of Jesus in their faith.

Some Christians use "Happy Birthday Jesus" as a gentle reminder or conversation starter about the religious meaning of Christmas when interacting with those who may focus more on Santa Claus or gift-giving. It serves as a simple yet powerful affirmation of their faith during a time when many feel the holiday has become overly commercialized.

I have had an eye out for a Nativity Camel or two for some years now, then I saw this pair of Kitschy Kritters...

It's the most wonderful time of the Playmobil Christkindlesmarkt

When Dad said "oh, we have to keep and use the Playmobil Christmas figures," he probably believed the box contained a Santa's house, a sleigh, and maybe a couple other things.

He was so, so wrong. Last year's diorama required three shelves in the dining room. This year, I found the 1980s medieval houses and decided to go for the gusto with an entire Christmas fair, which takes four shelves.

Santa's house is alone on the upper top shelf because he lives at the North Pole.

Digging through Playmobil boxes as I was sorting to sell or give away excess found me an extra rocker, so now both Clauses can sit by the fire. It also yielded a red desk, so the Clauses have somewhere to work on the naughty-nice list. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Mrs. Claus is stress-baking.

On the main level, at far left, is the ski and sledding slope and enchanted forest. Get up too much momentum on your sled, and you may end up stolen by the fae!

The elves clearly have the day off. Judging from how the guy in the green vest and red tuke is being treated by his elf, he's Tamlin.

New this year are non-white characters! Playmobil is a German brand, so they were slow-ish to expand characters into other skin tones, plus my parents' collection went back to the 1980s, so it reflects eras that were stingy with non-white rep. We had Native Americans in my original collection, but I sold that 20 years ago (if I hadn't, there'd probably be a buffalo menacing the reindeer).

During the big clean-out, I discovered Black adults and kids. I moved winter gear to every single one of them (except one, who you'll meet later), so that the Christmas Market is less out of line with modern Germany.

But what is Rufus, the Black parent in the white sweater and red cap, looking at so warily?

It's Russian Orthodox Santa! He's being pulled by a magical small horse, which the foxes in the background have chosen not to pursue.

Beyond St. Nicholas, something pagan appears to be afoot. I'm honestly not sure what, or even why the dead tree with the animals is kept with Christmas items.

The center section of shelves is one side of the town green, where a brass band of Santas is performing.

Santa has sprung for rent on a garage and workshop. Mrs. Claus is relieved to have this part of the home business out of the home. (That's his sports sleigh parked in the garage, while the big family sleigh is upstairs by the house. Santa had a bit of a midlife crisis a few years back.)

The Santa Band plays swing.

The right-hand Tudor house is a vet's office, convenient for when Santa's reindeer get a cough.

The final section of shelf is the rest of the town square and Christmas market.

Some of the vendors and shoppers are a little weird.

The porta-potty is the entire reason why the town square scene expanded this year. I found it in a box and had to use it.

The pizza restaurant equipment was also a must-use. Poor Santa has nobody to take his order! Meanwhile, small angels are panhandling outside.

The toy shop is delightful for those who don't want to wait for Santa.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the pizzeria's eating area, an indie band does sound check. (Or at least we hope it's sound check, since no one is upstairs to listen.)

i went to a grocery store ON HALLOWEEN and they already had some Christmas stuff set up. Like... Guys. Dudes. We live in Michigan. If we wanted Christmas all year we would just go to Frankenmuth and visit Bronner's. Wait your turn you ridiculous semisecularized holiday.
