Christmas Card Day

Christmas Card Day is on December 9 in the USA and reminds us that it’s time to send heartfelt wishes to our loved ones. Many of us look forward to this day, as it is a great opportunity to express our feelings with a bright, hand-signed card.

History

The tradition of giving cards has been around for many years, but sadly, many people have forgotten about it and prefer to wish their friends a happy holiday through dry messages in instant messengers. But can they really replace the love that is expressed through a physical card? We don’t think so!

The specific date of the holiday is no coincidence, as it was on December 9 that the first postcard was created. It depicted a happy family. The following year, floral patterns were chosen for the design. Nowadays, we have a variety of options to choose from, thanks to the skillful designs of various organizations. Custom cards are also a great idea for other occasions, not just Christmas.

Interesting Facts

• In China, they believe that postcards are the prototype of business cards.
• In England, it is said that the first Christmas card was created by the artist Dobson, who gave it to a friend. This person was so pleased with the gift that he showed it to those around him, who immediately wanted one too.
• Modern society is more inclined towards sending e-cards (which have their own holiday!).

How to Take Part

To join in on the fun, get beautiful postcards and start writing down your sincere wishes. Take pictures of the sent and received postcards and post them on your social media so that more people can join in!
