A Second Look at a Christmas Card No 7: What if?




On Christmas night we are bound to wonder.  Hopefully we can wonder at other things than this card makes us wonder, for perhaps it makes us wonder . . .
  1. What if the wise men had ignored the star and Santa had been called in to bring the presents instead - would he have followed the star?
  2. What if Jesus had been born in St Freda's church tower - how would the star have appeared?
  3. What if we all had the kind of tread that gives Santa's boots such amazing grip on the rooftops?
  4. What if all the trees in the town had the same evergreen fertiliser that the ones near Santa seem to have?
  5. What if, instead of being created by God, the stars of the universe and their positioning had been left to a wallpaper designer?
  6. What if there were no demand for Christmas cards - how would the kind of artist that drew this make a living?
