I have recently read that a survey has revealed that Christmas cards are losing their religious message. Traditional pictures such as Jesus in his manager, angels blowing trumpets over a stable, and three wise men following the star to Bethlehem are dying out beeing replaced by designs or jokes with little or no relevance to the Bible story and the true meaning of Christmas.
