As I look over the boxes of
Christmas cards in the
stores, my tongue begins to
wither at the thought of
licking all those stamps and
envelopes,
Nevertheless greeting
cards play an important role
in this festive season for
most people, and it's hard to
imagine a time when there
were no Christmas cards.
TO MARRY — Mrs. Russell Wilson, Centralia and Mr, and
Mrs. Irvine Armstrong, Exeter, are pleased to, announce the
forthcoming marriage of their children, Lindq Bernice and
William Jacob. The wedding ceremony will take place

(The temperance groups
complained but to no avail.)
In 1844, Mr. C.T. Dobson
created .a sketch that
depicted the Spirit of
Christmas. Although many
people felt that sending
Christmas cards was too
expensive, the novelty
caught on. "Post early" was
advice heard as often in 1850
as we hear it today. But,
back then, if people mailed
their cards late, they might
still arrive in time because
the postmen worked even on
Christmas morning,
The early cards came in
various sizes and shapes -
bell, fan and crescent-
shaped,, oval, circular and
diamond-shaped. Some were
embossed or jewelled;
others were folding or
irridescent. Even materials
varied from satin, silk and
plush to brocade. Lace and
embroidery trim added the
final touch.
Summer landscapes and
seascapes were as ac-
ceptable as winter scenes.
Floral decorations were as
popular as religious and
Father Christmas themes.
The robin was identified as
quickly with Christmas as
the holly.
Because of the variety of
size, poets allowed their
creativity to flow'freely the
longer the verse, the larger
the card. Some cards even
carried the words to carols.
Cards were not always
sent in the traditional spirit
of Christmas. Some
humorous verses had
nothing to do with the
sdeoaws n ro g; h t ion st he othersg w
Some

People, or people who
thought they were im-
portant, sent large cards to
make the recipients feel
small,
In spite of debate, the
industry flourished. The
simple cards of the 1840's,
which were often Valentine
cards with "Merry Christ-
mas" embossed on them,
became lavish productions
within forty years. Now they
are a worldwide tradition.
Many interesting books,
such as the Victorian.
Christmas Book by Antony
and Peter Miall, trace the
history of cards and other
customs. Reading them is
fascinating, but it doesn't get
