Every year I send out hand made Christmas Cards. It's been a tradition for our family and one that I try to continue. Over the years, depending on time, and facilities, I have produced them - some more successful than others, but it's not the end result that matters, it's the importance of embodying what Christmas is really about. That is the gift of time and thought, not how much money one throws at it that is the important message.
Sadly the amount of cards I send out each years are now decreasing as people decease and my capability for mass production also is reduced. So this year only 8 sent out.
Images for the Christmas cards were photographed here in Port Douglas along the Captain Cook Highway. I like the idea of the Star of Bethlehem not just giving light to the wise men, but it's a light of symbolism throughout the year to all the places in the world.
One theory about the star is that it is called the Star of Solomon that was shining at this time, which was not so much a star but if you drew a line to all the planet's positions it then creates a star shape, which happens every 40,000,000 years. Though this did happen 5BC which could throw that theory off (highly premature baby Jesus?)
