quicko: between a card and a hard place

I was looking for Christmas cards yesterday and, though I admit to only really scanning two stores, I was distraught to find next to no cards with any sort of Jesus-Mary-Joseph type sentiment behind them.  Half couldn't even mention "Christmas."  Of the three? cards with genuineness about them, two featured the wise men only.  Now the wise men are lovely and part of the story and all -- but surely they're not exactly the highlight!  I found one card with a general nativity scene (that thankfully managed to be pretty and sparkly, too!) ... tough times for Christmas in Australia.

Sadly it's been like this for decades. My personal bug-bear is 'Season's Greetings' cards.
