I just passed a church whose sign said, " Empty cradle? Empty Christmas.". WTH?

    What?! Okay let's hope that they meant something to do with the nativity scene, maybe the whole "taking Christ out of Christmas" concept?

    I can't believe a church would be so harsh as to mean that having no kids means your Christmas will suck. Yeah, we know Sad

    It means if Jesus weren't born (empty cradle) than there would be no meaning to Christmas (empty Christmas).  Unfortunately the message lacks proper delivery!

    Agreed.  Maybe just change the word cradle to manger.

    Agreed!  I don't think I could have seen that sign without knocking on someone's door and delivering some harsh words of my own.

    I was thinking the same thing about word usage.  It just really threw me off while I was driving.  For someone in our situation, the word choice was really sucky on their part!
