I am becomingly increasingly hostile to the fashion for people putting images of themselves and families on Christmas cards. Even the royals now do it.
Christmas is about the dawn of redemption and the child in the manger, not about ourselves. The overwhelming majority of cards now on sale are secular, but robins, snow, carol singers and Santa at least have some loose connection with the feast of Christmas. I cannot see that promulgating photographs of oneself has anything whatever to do with it. Whenever Prince Charles or Prince William do it, I reflect that as future Supreme Governors of the Church of England they should know better.
