Political agendas don't have a place on a Christmas card.
While I agree with both human rights and animal rights, they don't belong on a Christmas card.
Just my opinion. I would not buy them, nor send them, and I'm not too sure how I would feel about receiving one unless it was from someone I knew very well and would feel comfortable enough to tell them what I thought.
I agree.
I am pro-choice and pro-animal rights ... and pro-a lot of other things ... but CHRISTmas is about the birth of CHRIST, IMO. Would you send someone a political message on Easter? On Chanukkah? On Eid? On their birthday? Of course not. So why on Christmas?
IMO, sending someone a card is about THEM, not about YOU and YOUR beliefs. You send someone a card or buy them a present to make them feel happy and loved and special ... not to make yourself feel good about spreading a politcal message from your personal soapbox. Just MHO.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
