The tradition of sending and receiving greeting cards and of decorating our living rooms with them looks like having been going since the beginning of times. We've all been raised with fond memories of the Christmas of our early childhood where Christmas and Season's greetings cards were an important part in the magic related with this joyous event.

But in fact, sending Christmas cards dates back only to the beginning of the Postal Service in Victoria's United Kingdom.

It's not a tradition dating back very long but it is an intense tradition. Since the beginning, the very best artists were commissioned to design and to lithograph the Christmas cards. Later on, the best writers were commissioned to find what would be the best poems and best suitable sentiments. For example, among many famous 19th century artists involved in Christmas card desing, figure  Kate Greenaway, Walter Crane, and Thomas Crane, famous for their work in early illustrated children litterature were also famous for their Christmas card designs. This practice continues today and what you are sending to your loved ones and to your friends is really a miniature work of art that will grab their attention and that will for sure deliver a message that will go straight to their heart.

Looking current Christmas cards gives the impression that Christmas is a time where we take a break to look ourselves and our loved ones to renew the meaning of we as individuals, and we as a community we belong to.

If we look at vintage Christmas cards, we can get a feeling of a profound meaning in the simplest scene portrayed.

In both, it's the work of the artist who channels into our mind a message that is more subtle than the objects and characters represented in the picture.

This is the magic of art. Enjoy!
