Crosses & Christmas

My children immediately asked why we don't see crosses at christmas, when I was explaining the wonder & meaning of Christmas; Christ's birth!

We have many iconic images at Christmas, many with both pagan & Christian meaning, but whose meaning is greatly forgotten by the masses.
Stars, angels (& fairies), presents, trees, sanitized nativity scenes (& some made from pork products...), tinsel, lights, bells, wreaths, bows, red & green, silver & gold...

They have a point too. If Christ had been born without dying to pay for our sins, then there would be no grace & forgiveness for us before a just God, & his birth would be pointless.

I challenge you to design some Christmas crosses. Feel free to send me pics to share (I'll acknowledge you unless you specify not to).

Lets remember the greatest gift this. Christmas!
