Sending Christmas Cards is a fairly modern
custom. It is believed the very first car d was sent by a
printing company located in London in 1846. Originally mailed
only to their customers to show appreciation for patronage, this
London company started selling one-color Christmas Cards to the
public by 1862. By 1865 a Boston lithographer began offering
multi-colored cards and received a popular response in Europe.
He began selling his cards in the United States in 1875. It
has been a tradition ever since and now includes computerized
electronic cards.
