Wow. It seems like it would be flirting with disaster to bake a birthday cake even for an *ordinary* person and then eat it all yourself, let alone *God*. Also, I can't help wondering how you managed to fit 2,002 candles on it.

Joking aside, that is probably one of the nicest Christmas religious traditions I've ever heard. Thank you for posting it here.
