TODAY IS CHRISTMAS CARD DAY
Christmas cards, and the man who is credited with coming up with the concept for a commercial Christmas card, Sir Henry Cole, are celebrated today. Because he didn’t have time to write all his family and friends at Christmas time, Cole, a worker at the Public Records Office in London, commissioned artist John Calcott Horsley to design a card for him, which Horsley did while living at Orestone Manor, near Torquay, in the United Kingdom. This first card, created in 1843, had a picture of a family celebrating Christmas together while drinking, flanked by images of people giving food and clothing to the needy. Below, the phrase “A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU” was inscribed.
How to celebrate Christmas Card Day
Celebrate the day by buying or making your own Christmas cards and mailing them out to family members and friends around the country. If you can’t choose which type of card to send, maybe you could get some replicas of Cole’s first Christmas card.
