“Christmas came from humble beginnings.”
I love the simplicity of this Christmas card! It reminds me of the humble origins of Christmas. New parents, a babe in a manger, lowly shepherds, and three wise kings who brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh; gifts that I am sure provided a means to take of a brand new baby in a strange land far away from home. This image is a far cry of the glitz, glimmer, and excess of Christmas today. While I love holiday decor and I put up my fair share of it, there are times I find myself longing for stark simplicity. While I find it hard to verbally convey the simplicity that I yearn for – this convention swap (creative origins unknown) depicts it perfectly!
