Religious images have been banished from almost all christmass cards on sale in high street shops. traditional nativity pictures such as angels overa stable, jejus in his manger and the three wise men appear on only one in 100, theyb have been replaced by a bizarre selection , including Brussels sprouts, a shoe, a moonlit bridge and a line of meerkats one card even carried the potentialy offensive suggestion that shepherds saw an angel appear only because they had been smoking drugs. A daily mail survey of 5,500 cards in high street stores(london), includin WH smith,Clinton cards and hallmark found only 67 with pic of the bibles story or a ny religeous stuff. This disappearence of christmas from cards comes with a christmas feeling increasingly under preasure... wat say?!!!!!

Yep.... The old consumer machine has rolled into Christmas and pretty much every other holiday/season/festival etc you can think of. Christmas now is seen as sales, days off, getting gifts etc etc Its worth billions of dollars every year, why would they want to change that? Sad but true....

Its more about earning monies now. thats the reason why all the xmas cards are totally filled with stuffs that would attract the young generation to buy em and not with traditional nativity pictures. too bad its working aswell.
