Christmas card

Japanese: クリスマス・カード(英語表記)Christmas card
Christmas card
A card used to send Christmas greetings. In England, the custom of sending handmade cards began in the late 18th century, and in the first half of the 19th century, paper with printed borders was sold for use as such. Full-scale Christmas cards with printed pictures and text first appeared in the 1840s. There are several theories about who originated the card, but the most well-known is that it was designed in 1843 by JC Horsley, a member of the Royal Academy, at the request of Henry Cole.
