31 Days | Christmas Cards

The first Christmas Card recorded was in London in 1843. Sir Henry Cole got a painter to make him a card that he could send to his friends and business acquaintances. By the 1860's, sending Christmas Cards in Britain was a popular tradition. It didn't take off in the United States until Louis Prang (known as the father of the American Christmas Card), made a card for his customers in 1875. Now it is the most sent card of the year.
Their are so many Christmas Cards options. Folded traditional cards, postcards, and photo cards. Even e-cards for the holidays.
