First Christmas Card


It's hard to imagine that Christmas cards and even the holiday has not always been around. They have for our lifetime so I guess we figure they always were. Today I am posting the first Christmas card known...

The first Christmas Card as we know it that was originated in London in 1843 by Sir Henry Cole. Cole decided he was too busy to write individual Christmas greetings to his family, friends, and business colleagues so he asked a friend, painter John Colicott Horsley, to design a card for him. So started the modern day Christmas Card.
