This Is Christmas Card Day! 

This day honors Sir Henry Cole (1818 - 1874) of England. Cole created the first commercial Christmas Card in 1843.

Here's what it looked like.

Only a few decades ago, sending Christmas cards through the mail was a holiday "must", however The cost and time for writing and sending cards has caused many people to stop sending them.

If you plan on sending cards this year, use today to get a start.
