This one is from a Card of 1878: Happy Christmas to thee, dearest, Dwelling in thy happy home, And we wish for thee, how fondly, Many long bright years to come, .May such friends be thine as ever Seek thy pleasure as their own: And if sorrow must come nigh thee May'st thou never weep alone. And here's another: 'Tis now a bright and jovial time For friends together meeting But those whom fate doth separate Must take a friendly greeting. Then let me hope my missive may Serve as a welcome token Of all the loving words I'd say Could'st thou but hear them spoken! Religious Cards Take Lead In Popularity "Sorry, we don't have any more Christmas cards, only some religious ones." These words, supposedly spoken by a saleswoman to a last-minute shopper for greeting cards a good many years ago, wouldn't be mean- ingful now.

Often, hymns and carols have been set to the music of classic composers. One example is, "While Shepherds Watched ' Their Flocks by Night," by Nahum Tate. Music for this came from Handel's opera, "Siroe," as adapted by Richard Storrs Willis.
