Most kids don't give a sh*t about Jesus nowadays! Come to that, they don't give a sh*t about Santa too. Or their parents!!! They just want want want and want. I am disgusted with this answer too. I am on your side.
Okay, perhaps not the majority of kids, but I have a good point that most kids don't realise that Christmas means Christ's Mass.
They think it's Santa's Sack.
I do hope you find the cards you're looking for. I have had trouble myself looking for cards that depicts Christianity. I really do understand your frustration.
Have a Merry Christ's Mass and best wishes for the new year ahead.

I really do agree with you. Christmas has become a holiday about getting presents and looking out for Santa, and the businesses like Walmart are loving it. This is the craziest time of the year because everyone has forgotten it's about being with family celebrating Jesus' birth, and have instead made it a headache because they have to shop for everyone on their list. I don't know why it has happened, but I totally agree with you.

As a consumer I agree with you a hundred percent. And, as a parent, I encourage you to make your own card for your mum. It may be a long time ago that you were in grade school, but parents of all ages always appreciate a gift from the heart. You are never to old to to this.....Merry Christmas.

Because Christmas isn't really about Christianity. It really has nothing to do with it. It started off as a celebration of the birth of Mithras, a Roman God whose story had startling similarities to that of Jesus. It's also a Pagan celebration of the Winter solstice.
Christians have just jumped on the bandwagon and declared it the birth of Jesus, fact is, nobody is sure when Jesus was born. Dates are as spread as December, January, February, June and October.

I would suggest you shop at a Christian store. They sell
wonderful cards with spiritual messages (including ones
for Mom). We have kicked God out of our schools, government,
and soon the Country so most everything is being secularized
these days. Shop Christian stores that still believe in and
honor God.

Go to a Christian book store after Christmas and get them on sale, so you can stock up.

I didn't think that religious icons were allowed on cards these days. Never mind that Ramadan can depict symbols.Or that Hanukkah can do likewise. Its up to you Christians to see that your religion isn't killed, like your Messiah.
