The History of Holiday Greeting Cards

We're getting our bits and pieces of paper together to make our annual holiday greeting card  (see below).  I'll post a photo of the finished card in a few days.  But why do we send holiday greetings and when did this tradition start?  To read more about the history of holiday greetings, visit my friend, Carol Christmas' fabulous letter writing blog, WriteALetter.org.  Carol is a retired postal service delivery worker with a love for all things mail and letter writing related.  She and I have been letter writing penpals for a few years now.  Her blog is well worth visiting!
