Hello All,
We celebrate Christmas. I recognize that there are arguments against the celebration of Christmas, but I ask that those opposed to the celebration of Christmas please not respond to this post.
I believe that pictures of Christ, even if it is of a generic baby in a manger, are a second commandment violation (Westminster Larger Catechism Q.109). I recognize that there are those that would disagree with me and suggest that since our children are not worshipping the baby Jesus in the nativity set, or the babe in the manger in a children's book, that no second commandment violation is occurring. I ask that those who have no issue with images of Christ please do not respond to this post.
My specific question has to do with children's books or other decorations that focus our children's attention on Christ as the reason for Christmas without featuring "pictures of Jesus." Has anyone had any luck finding such things? I did track down this series of books today and ordered them:
The Born To Be King Series
