Day 1!

It’s December! Do you have your Holiday Greeting Cards yet?

Christmas Cards were first developed in the 1840’s but did not gain popularity until the 1890’s. Postcards costed only a penny to send at this time, making them popular and affordable. Many sent “penny post” to family and friends in Europe and beyond.
