I know this is a tad inappropriate given the time of year and that I should be grateful that someone was thoughtful enough to give me this Christmas card. But, does anyone remember a lion in the manger? Anyone? I know the Ox and Lamb kept time “pa rum pum pum pum”, but no lion. And is it just me, or do you get the feeling that the feline in the picture is just deciding which to eat first?

You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy. I like to experience what life has to offer and will try just about anything once. I approach most things with a childlike naivete that usually results in re-affirming my faith in mankind (the fabulous Annie in Australia) and sometimes, not-so-much (dirty old man on plane to Scotland) At the end of the day, I like the simple things in life and try to appreciate what I have and be grateful for it. I always remind myself, at least I have a job, food, great friends and family, a roof over my head and pants.

You are missing the whole point. I think it is beautiful. With a lot of work, we can start to all get along .
You missed the part where the "lion lay down with the lamb". Shame on you.
The lion and the lamb didn't happen in the manger! (Did it?)
Also, I didn't say it wasn't beautiful. It is very pretty indeed ~ it just made me go "hmmmmm" is all.
I think the lion is deciding who to eat first ---perhaps he has read johnathan Swift "a Modest Proposal'
Perhaps the picture was painted in March...in like a lamb, out like a lion?
Lion and Lamb Painting
The lion and lamb painting is a biblical iconic image that is supposed to represent world peace. Since if the lion which is the ultimate predator can sleep next to a cute cuddly lamb and not eat it, then the rest of the world should also be able to get along. There have been many speculation of this lion and lamb painting and the symbolic meanings but the above meaning is the one most people agree with.
