Choosing a Christmas or nativity card

Both are Christmas cards. The difference is the picture: one celebrates the season, the other tells the story.

Choose a Christmas card for family warmth

Carols in the snow, a family dinner, children by the tree. These are best for friends, neighbours, colleagues and relatives, whatever their faith.

Choose a nativity card for the story

The manger, Mary and child, the holy family under the star, the shepherd. These suit church friends, family who keep the faith, and anyone who wants the meaning of Christmas front and centre.

What to write inside

"Wishing you peace, joy and time together this Christmas." For nativity cards: "May the light of the season fill your home with grace."
