Is it just me, or is it getting increasingly impossible to find cards with a
nativity scene on them? I've just spent ages trawling around Aldersh*t and
eventually found ones in the Tourist Office - the last place I visited.

Whinge over - I'll get orft me soapbox now:)

I suppose they are concerned about offending other religions Splodge.
All this PC rubbish again :(

Hello Splodge,
I make all my own cards nowadays - I use Publisher and there is a wealth of
chri****s scenes of all kinds to copy or download from the net.
Just go to Google - Images - and type in nativity scenes - you will be
amazed at the choice there is.
You can also make them in Word if you have not got Publisher.

I'll just point out that there are other desk-top publishing and card
making programs rather cheaper than Microsoft Publisher - I use Serif
PagePlus, which I paid £13 for, but there are others.

Yes, I know there is - only giving an example anyway Ali;)

But it is easy to make greeting cards in Word anyway.

Yes, I expect so, it's just a bit frustrating though.

I used to make my own birthday cards Anita, so next year I might apply a bit
of forethought and make my own. Thanks for the details

Funnily enough, P-f, the ones I finally got were for the Arthritis Research
Campaign, so very applicable to me:))

Glad you're sorted :o)

I think I'll have a rummage through our Serif CDs

Yes, but again, Word is the expensive option - OpenOfficeOrg has the same
functionality and is free. http://openoffice.org

Strangely a lot of people who have Word assume *everybody* has Word, like it
was given away free with windows.
