Christmas cards are part of a traditional Christmas. They are usually sent to convey happy greetings between friends and family and are normally sent in weeks preceding Christmas day on December 25th. The traditional greeting tends to say “wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”.
Christmas cards generally depict designs relating to the season and the subject of what Christmas is suppose to represent. Christmas traditions like, Santa Claus and Christmas Trees, are always popular as well as the Nativity scene. A winter landscape has become a very traditional scene, with snow covered trees and houses.
The first commercial Christmas cards were commissioned in England in 1843 and featured a design of a family drinking wine together and as with this early Christmas card designs rarely featured religious scenes, instead opting for flowers, fairies and other fancy designs.
