Went on the hunt for Christmas cards today. Once I'd discounted the meaningless robins and snowmen, the 'winterfall' scenes of snow and ice (which, with the ridiculous temperatures we've got at the minute should soon be a dim and distant memory anyway), the fairies, goblins, brussel sprouts, puddings, trees and yet more snowmen - I was left with the sickly sweet nativity scenes of grinning shepherds, nun-like mary's and pristine mangers, all of which seemed to say zilch about 'God-with- Us.' Maybe this picture taken by Ben Bell is more what it really was and is about. And not a bit of glitter or holly in sight.

This is just too politically correct for my tastes but would appeal to metroploitan types wishing to make a point. Gouty.
