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 folks claimed important 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 my stamps and envelopes licked. To save my tongue, I'll resort to a dampened sponge as I carry on the greeting8o card tradition in o A new slate of officers was elected at Tuesday's meeting of the South Huron Hospital Auxiliary, Mrs. Earl Campbell has moved up the the position of past president, and Mrs. Leone Brock has taken her place as president.
