Confused Religiosity

This one bugs me.  It appropriates the notion of 'belief' from Christian (real) Christmas but waters it down to secular themes, skirting close to theological concepts (angels, mystery) yet lacking the guts to be actually religious.  And yet this could hardly be called respectfully inter-faith; it's obviously Christmas oriented.  A weird hodge-podge. 



And here's another bad one.  There is absolutely no actual tradition behind this - it's just seven random concepts made up by card makers and slapped onto vaguely religious-sounding symbols.  Besides, it reduces the one critical element of Christmas celebration - Christ's birth and incarnation - and puts it on equal level with other tangential aspects of a holiday.


Doesn't fly in my book.
