Christmas Cards

     Sending Christmas Cards is a fairly modern custom.  It is believed the very first card 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.
