Just In Time For Holidays

Christmas Cards

Christmas cards first emerged in London, England in the early 1800?s, making them a relatively new holiday tradition. The first ever Christmas card was sent by Sir Henry Cole in 1843. Cole was an extremely busy man throughout the year, working at the Public Records Office and running an art museum. Cole found himself particularly busy one Christmas season and felt he didn?t have enough time to wish his loved ones holiday greetings.

Because of this, Cole decided to enlist the help of his colleague, John Calcott Horsley, to produce Christmas cards to send to his friends and family. Cole?s Christmas cards had ?A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You? written on the inside of them. Cole?s holiday greetings remain a popular way to wish everyone well during the Christmas season. Neither Cole nor Horsley had any idea the impact their Christmas cards would cause throughout the world. The creation of these Christmas cards provided many employment opportunities for artists, writers, and printers.

Initially, Christmas cards were hand-delivered to family and friends, however, with the creation of the postal system, mail quickly became the preferred method of sending Christmas cards. Christmas cards have now become the standard way to wish friends and family special holiday greetings.
