The Christmas Card Tale
 by Wayne Mattox

How do you tell somebody you care? Go to the store, buy a card and let somebody else do the telling for you.

The oldest Christmas card created for general distribution probably was created by William Egley Jr.; a 16 year-old British youth.  His 3 1/2-inch- by 5 1/2-inch, 1842 printed impression, preserved in the British Museum, depicts four holiday scenes and a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" greeting with blanks after the word "To" on the top and "From" at the bottom. Industrious kid.     CONT'D
