Here's the Christmas card I made this year for my family (to help you figure this out, I'm the eldest of four siblings, and my parents both wear glasses). I thought I was done with this but there was something missing from it. Silly Michelle, clearly it was supposed to be snowing! A few downy flakes letter and I think I fixed it :)
There do seem to be some weird parallels between my sisters, brother and I, and the fictional Pevensies, but in the end I suppose it's only the parallels any family could find. A group of people, still growing and changing and figuring out how to get on with life, finding themselves on a journey. Sometimes separate, sometimes together, a united team or squabbling and at odds, sharing good times and facing impassable challenges as we stumble along towards the intriguing, mysterious (and sometimes rather alarming!) figure of a Lion we have never yet met face to face.
I didn't leave anyone out either; on the inside of the card is my brother-in-law as Caspian and our dog wearing a bushy golden mane. I don't think the Aslan would mind :)
