On cards, more Holy family, less your family


Is there a picture of you or your family on the Christmas cards you sent out this year?


If so, prepare to be shamed. (Thankfully, my wife and I narrowly decided not to this year.) Jesuit Father James Martin, in this commentary for National Public Radio, says:


“Doesn't it strike you as weird to set aside the Holy Family in favor of your family?"


"Does a photo of Cabo San Lucas trump the story told by the original San Lucas?"


"Is Christmas really about you?”
