Going as far back as 1611 Christmas Cards have been sent to one another to commemorate the Christmas holiday.  The traditional Christmas card is a greeting usually sent as part of the celebration of Christmas to wish people joy and happiness and a happy new year.  Most Christmas cards are mailed out a few weeks before the holiday so that people can display them in prominent places around the home such as on top of fireplaces. One of the most popular greetings is "wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year".  Often if the sender and/or recipient is Christian, the card might contain a bible verse or religious theme. The first modern Christmas card was created by John Calcott Horsley.
Popular designs on the Christmas Cards include depictions of the Nativity of Jesus, the Star of Bethlehem or a white dove that represents Peace. Some people take the time to create something funny or memorable that might include something happen during the year or a personal experience that the recipient and sender share.  Its a great tradition and fun to see and read all the cards that you get for the holiday and the various ways you might choose to display them.
