It’s the first part of December and you know what that means? Christmas cards! It’s the time of year when mailboxes fill up with holiday and paper Christmas cards. I don’t know about you, but we receive cards from family, friends, and relatives we rarely see.
According to Hallmark’s corporate website, approximately 1.5 billion Christmas cards are sent annually, making it the largest card-sending holiday in the U.S. This number does not include the number of packages and presents that are delivered during the holiday.
According to Hallmark’s corporate website, Hallmark created its first Christmas card in 1915. My family usually sends out generic, store-bought Christmas cards. However, lots of our family and friends make custom cards, which usually include family photos.
Also, we always receive one or two handwritten or typed notes from relatives we rarely see. They print pictures and update us on what happened this past year usually on about 5 pages of paper!
So as you can see, paper cards play an important role during the holiday season.
What is your Christmas, card-sending tradition? Do you receive or include personalized notes or pictures in your cards?
