quicko: awaaaaay in a manager

So the other day I tried to find a Christmas card with something -- anything -- about Jesus.  Turns out the absolute closest I could get to the real Christmas story were jokes about "gee, if only I had three kings I could have a full house" or some take-off on no room in the inn.  I was appalled.  Eventually, the best I could come up with was some generic tidings of peace and joy.

The whole holiday is really secularized -- although it definitely is in America, too, if people aren't Christians here, they're loathe to even admit the celebration stems from one of the most important Christian memories of all time.
