The practice of sending festive messages dates to 1843 when Sir Henry Cole, a British civil servant, commissioned the first commercial greeting. Designed by artist John Callcott Horsley, it depicted a joyful family gathering and bore the message "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You." During this time, holiday greetings were primarily hand-delivered, but as postal services improved - especially with Britain's Penny Post - their popularity grew rapidly. By the late 19th century, advancements in printing technology made them more affordable and accessible to a wider audience. The tradition soon expanded beyond the United Kingdom, gaining popularity in the United States in the 1870s. Louis Prang, a German immigrant and printer, played a crucial role in popularizing this trend in America, introducing high-quality printed designs that became widely sought after. Since then, the custom has only grown, with millions of people exchanging warm wishes each year.



Sending a handwritten note is a meaningful way to spread seasonal cheer and express appreciation for those who matter most. Unlike digital messages, which can feel impersonal or fleeting, a tangible greeting carries a sense of warmth and sincerity. The act of selecting, writing, and mailing a heartfelt message demonstrates thoughtfulness and effort, making the recipient feel valued. These notes also help strengthen relationships by conveying love, gratitude, and good wishes. Many people cherish and display them throughout the festive season, while others keep them as sentimental mementos for years to come. The personal touch of a handwritten message adds extra meaning, setting them apart from emails or texts. Whether traditional paper greetings or modern designs, sending a thoughtful note remains a meaningful gesture of connection and joy during Christmas.
