This gift doth here the giver

God is my gift,
Himself He freely gave me,
God's gift am I,
and none but God shall have me.

Saint Nicholas Blessings - Set of 12 Christmas Cards
At last! Christmas cards that celebrate our faith! Instead of Santa Claus, we have Saint Nicholas. Instead of 'gimmie stuff', we ask for and receive a blessing. There is also a lovely poem, excerpted from 'The Nativity of Christ' by St Robert Southwell. (Southwell was Shakespeare's cousin, no wonder his poem reads well!). THIS is what Christmas cards should be - heartwarming, full of blessings and beauty and good cheer. So glad I found these!

Saint Nicolas Blessing Christmas Card
An appropriate message for Christmas, to remind the recipient it is St Nicolas we remember and use as the proper example of this Season of the Birth of our Lord, not the secular Santa.
