Christmas cards are wonderful greeting cards that people use to wish friends, family, business associates, and even acquaintances Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Christmas cards have a special way of putting a smile on someone’s face when they open them. Many people save their Christmas cards from year to year and look at them often.
Laura Legend looks into the history and tradition of Christmas cards…
Christmas cards originated from an idea that Sir Henry Cole had in the early to mid 1800s. He was the founder and director of the South Kensington Museum (now known as the Victoria and Albert Museum) in London, England.
Sir Henry was in the habit of hand writing a Christmas letter to friends, family and acquaintances to wish them holiday greetings. His desire that prompted the development of Christmas cards was to send a large number of Christmas letters and he was simply too busy to hand write so many.
