The church I go to now does a collective card. You pay £5 and then you write a message which gets included on one card with everyone else 's (wasn't sure if digital or real) so everyone is on one card and the money is donated to a cause instead!

And I love that the first to hear of the baby were the least and lowest in society - and later the rich, educated magi came. Listening to the news this morning I thought again of that little family escaping to Egypt. My Best Friend was a refugee once.

The Christmas shepherds always appeal to me. They were hardly respected in the society of that day, yet on that lonely hillside they were the first to be visited by angels, and given the news of Jesus birth. So the outsider was to be included. My choice of Nativity cards always includes shepherds. I also look to see that the artist hasn’t painted a blond, blue eyed baby, or made poor Joseph look ancient or decrepit, poor man. Hope the sale went well yesterday. IsabelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
