Christmas Vintage Card Window Display

Over the years as I browse thru Vintage Shops, I have this urge to pick thru old Vintage Post Cards that once were the treasures of friends and family. It appears that Christmas Cards or Greetings were first started in England in the 1840's by Sir. Henry Cole and Queen Victoria sent the first official Christmas card in 1843. Christmas cards where important back then and are still important today. You feel remembered, it's the glue holding together the special feelings of the holidays. Displaying them and collecting old greetings is another way to bring the past to the present and your loved ones closer. Looking at the back of these old Christmas greetings or post cards is such a treasure...they once made someone's life special and filled it with love.
