Christmas Cards |
| The very first Christmas card was made in 1843. Henry Cole had it designed, and printed 1000 of them. He sold them from a shop in London. The picture shows a family enjoying a happy Christmas party. Can you see the pictures on either side? They show the poor people being fed and given some warm clothes. |  |
| The idea of Christmas cards soon caught on, and now millions are sent every year. Lots of Christmas cards are sold in aid of charity. Some of the money is given to help poor and needy people through organisations like Oxfam, Christian Aid, TEAR Fund etc. Click the 'Action' button on the left of this page, to find out more about the work these groups do. | |
