    Have a good sec­u­lar New Year of peace and love, and Happy Cir­cum­ci­sion. I for one am glad that Hall­mark doesn’t have a card, can’t you just imag­ine what it would look like?

    Nope, I def­i­nitely don’t want them on that par­tic­u­lar project. Happy New Year!

    I work in a Bap­tist book­store. The assis­tant man­ager has taken to ask­ing me out of the blue “What are you cel­e­brat­ing today?” (this after com­ing in late one day every week in Novem­ber after attend­ing var­i­ous 7 AM Divine Litur­gies). On Mon­day at our morn­ing devo­tional time, she caught me by sur­prise and I said, “Uh, I don’t know — but tomor­row is Circumcision!”

    You could have heard a pin drop.

    Grace, I’ll talk to some cre­ative folks here at Hall­mark to see if we can get this card. It will be a dif­fi­cult one to cat­e­go­rize. “Let’s see, do we put that under ‘Jew­ish’ or ‘Chris­t­ian’? Hmm, maybe under ‘New Baby’ — maybe we need to change that to just ‘Baby’ since all of them are new…” I can hear the conun­drums now as they wres­tle with this one in the edi­to­r­ial department.

    Nicode­mus,

    Well, any­thing worth doing is worth doing well.

    I would kind of advise them to stay away from the humor­ous ones, espe­cially the cur­mud­geon lady. But I don’t want to tell any­body their business.
