Christmas card
A
Christmas card is a greeting card that is decorated in a manner that celebrates
Christmas. Typical content ranges from truly
Christian symbols such as Nativity scenes and the Star of Bethlehem to purely
secular references, sometimes humorous, to seasonal weather or common Christmastime activities like shopping and partying. Christmas cards are exchanged during the Christmas season (around
December 25) by many people (including non-Christians) in
Western culture and in
Japan. Some Christian groups (such as
Jehovah's Witnesses), however, disdain the celebration of
holidays without explicit
Bible authorization, and so neither celebrate Christmas nor exchange Christmas cards.
