No Robins on logs, Snowmen or Stagecoaches in the snow!

WRONG!

I am talking about Christmas cards, of course, and,  in Fr J's sermon last Sunday he stated, quite rightly, that unless a card featured the infant Christ, it was not, in fact, a Christmas card. In recent years we have seen a massive shift away from featuring any religious symbolism on Christmas cards with the result that all too many young people now do not associate Christmas with the coming of Christ; in fact, to them, it is not a religious feast at all - it is just a good chance to party and receive gifts...what's Jesus Christ got to do with it?


WRONG!

I know that I am preaching to the converted but the message is loud and clear, keep the Nativity scene on your cards.
Well designed cards are available from SPUC http://www.spuc.org.uk/ Aid to the Church in Need http://www.acnuk.org/ or, for something really exclusive, from Daniel Mitsui http://www.danielmitsui.com/
