Christmas cards can even have pictures of people shopping for Christmas gifts or partying.
Christmas cards are exchanged during the Christmas season which is around December 25th. Christmas cards are given out by non Christians both in the United States and in Japan.
Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t like holidays that don’t have explicit biblical authority, therefore, they neither celebrate Christmas nor do they exchange Christmas cards with anyone.
Christmas card history
The early English Christmas cards rarely illustrated winter or religious themes. They had flowers and fairies on them so that people would be reminded of spring.
Today’s Christmas cards can be bought individually or in a package of the same design or varied designs. People who love to collect Christmas cards might focus on imagines of Santa Claus, snowmen, poets, or gingerbread men and women.
Some people like to send out so many Christmas cards that they have a large Christmas card list which they start working on in November right before or right after Thanksgiving. If people wish to update their family about what is going on in their lives then, they might send out some Christmas letters.
Many organizations such as UNICEF design a special Christmas card to use as a fund raising tool.
