…and a sure sign is that recycled Christmas cards are once again on sale in aid of church funds. There is a great variety of different designs – both religious and non-religious – and the cards cost €11 for a pack of 10, including envelopes, and €1.30 singly. The cards are a standard size, have a Christmas and New Year message in both English and German, and are within the 20g limit for normal postage.
Christmas cards can be bought in church after the 10.30 Sunday service, at the Church Bazaar on 16 November and the Victorian Christmas Market on 30 November/1 December at the Baseler Hof Säle, and at many English-speaking and international club events.
