Understandably perhaps I am a little wedded to the nativity story on Christmas cards. But snowy church scenes are nice enough. I am a good Baptist though, and tolerant of others foibles about such things. so that the wonderful world of nature or great celebratory designs are appealing in their way. There are cards, however, that stretch even the tolerant mind to that simplest of all questions, "Why?" Here's three so far.
Do you think about snow angels at Christmas? No, I thought not. But at least we know what they look like if we see one. Or is that a picture of a Maker of Snow Angels?
Ah yes, the Christmas unicorn with toadstools. The what?
This seems to be Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer going to a party as a cow pat with holly growing from its head.
So let's say it again - people are so different and we can't expect everyone to have an eye on the Bible or the Church at Christmas.
The first card, to be fair, comes from a Jewish friend: it is amazingly kind of her to send us a card at all.
The second card, to be fair, comes from one of Sarah's Uni friends: can't expect her to think nativity!
The third card comes from a Baptist Minister . . . !
