Christmas Cards I originated in London 1843. John Callcott in England made me 150 years ago. The first picture on me was a family together with a small child, drinking wine together. Today I’m a greeting card sent as a part of the Christmas tradition. Years ago the Christmas card showed religious pictures of Mary, Jesus or Joseph, but now they show pictures of romantic , funny, cute and jokes. I became a Christmas tradition when a small business sent me to everyone on their consumer list soon the tale began to spread and and people kept coming back to buy me so I was moved to a multi-national business in Ireland and was bought and sent to family and friends at Christmas time. Merry Christmas! Briony Woodbridge
