The day and the season are called Christmas for a reason. I like to acknowledge and celebrate the reason for the season. That\u2019s why I choose to send religious Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong>. They allow me to express the joy and peace I feel for this glorious occasion, and to spread and share these feelings with others. It\u2019s a choice that helps me to stay centered during a hectic time of year.<\/p>\n

Often I will choose a nativity scene; there are so many beautiful versions from which to choose. Certainly I have used prints of famous paintings, but sometimes I\u2019ve been drawn by the simplicity of more modern representational art.<\/p>\n

Some years, as I recall in 2001, I felt an urgency to let a white dove represent my deeply felt beliefs. I\u2019ve found a couple of other ways to express both my religious beliefs and my hopes for peace on this earth. One year I sent a whole wreath of doves, and last year I sent a lovely Christmas tree that was decorated with doves. I also enjoy using religious Christmas cards that picture angels. It\u2019s my little way of sending the reminder that \u201cangels are among us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019m not trying to tell others what beliefs they should hold or how they should worship, it\u2019s important to me to express my faith in my daily life. One way for me to do that at Christmas is to choose religious cards celebrating the birth of Christ and wishing peace to everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Faith is an important belief, especially during the Christmas season.
