They used the phrase "Mary did you know" in the post, so I think they are well aware they are not pioneering anything

I did notice that phrasing, thought maybe it was a coincidence. If they are aware, idk then I guess I just don’t really get the point of the post?

Would probably be more apt to ask why there isn’t more focus on the horror of it. But then, Christmas is happy bc it’s the miraculous birth of the savior. The time for sadness and mourning and pondering the price paid for you and striving to be worthy of it is during Lent. (And then we go back to happy at Easter.) Doesn’t mean we don’t think about it all in context tho. Not rare to hear sermons around Christmas that directly reference what’s to come at lent. But the overarching theme is meant to be joy and gratitude. 🤷🏽‍♀️
