I love Christmas cards... I know they are not environmentally friendly, and that the charity varieties are a very bad way to give to good causes, but I still love them. However, the numbers of cards recieved this year were definitely down, with greater numbers opting for electronic versions... And I have resorted to the same, especially for trans-atlantic friends due to the fact that I am so badly organised and invariably miss the last posting date. This isn't quite the same however, as you can't stick an e-card on the wall, to remind you of the great array of friends and family that surround you...
However, this year, in some strange way, in a year of some particularly encouraging cards, my favourite Christmas greeting was this one...
What would the Daily Mail say about that? Where is the PC wariness about offending other faiths that some unthinking secularists engage in?
Again I turn to that song of praise sung by the angels:
