LONDON -- As Christmas draws nearer,Watch Selina's Gold Online Christmas cards are beginning to land on doormats up and down the country.
One charity has created a series of alternative Christmas cards to remind people of the 2016 events that forced millions of people from their homes.

The cards have been named after familiar carols with a slight twist, including: ‘Not So Silent Night’ and ‘The Star of Bedlam’.
Images of destroyed homes, hospitals and human suffering in the Middle East are familiar to us. But, pairing those scenes with traditional Christmas imagery makes for a striking and thought-provoking juxtaposition.
In 2016, the UN identified 13.5 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 4.8 million are refugees outside of Syria and over 6 million are internally displaced within the country.

"We want to provoke a broad public debate about the effect of the conflict on ordinary people at the time of year when many of us are thinking of loved ones, peace and goodwill," Leigh Daynes, Executive Director of Doctors of the World, told Mashable.
"McCann London’s juxtaposition of romanticised paintings of the past with contemporary reportage on these unique Christmas cards encourages the viewer to think beyond their own personal circumstances as they celebrate with their families this festive season," Daynes continued.
