It's about remembering the baby born in a manger who lived and died a brutal death - to provide a way to the Father. <br /><br />Not that there's anything wrong with all the trappings and traditions of the Christmas season (as long as they are not our focus). So I cannot wait to see your cards (even if they *are* your second choice). ;-)Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-10621548362720062002011-12-08T08:52:33.291-05:002011-12-08T08:52:33.291-05:00Great way to put things in perspective!
