Fun Festive Facts
Christmas seems to creep up on all of us every year. We all know it’s coming, yet it’s always a shock on Christmas eve when you’ve still got to find the perfect present for your friends, family and of course, your office Secret Santa.
The same goes for cards – what to put on them, who to send them to, and indeed when to send them. You don’t want to get caught in the postal rush just before Christmas and have your card turn up in January. And you certainly don’t want to be the one sending festive wishes in September!
We thought it’d be fun to take a closer look at Christmas Card habits, and the history of the cards themselves. We looked at the who and what, the when, where and why and this is what we came up with. Click on the image below for a larger version, full of fun festive facts…
