Cards are the best way to convey your emotions
and feelings to your loved ones. The earliest known designer of a
Christmas card was Sir Henry Cole, the first director of the
Victoria and Albert Museum. It was both the Penny Post postal
service in 1840 and the industrialization of the printing industry
however, that led to the popularity of sending Christmas cards. The
true meaning of Christmas is in sharing and love, in fellowship and
togetherness. It is in spreading the warmth in our hearts to touch
the lives of others with joy and good cheer. This Christmas, express
your feelings with Christmas cards the ways in which you cherish
your dear ones and treasure in your heart the moments spent with
them. So this time wish them Merry Christmas with your hand made
cards.
