Just A Way To Say Happy Holidays!
I wanted to do something, but did not know what. So, here are a few pages of information you either did or didn't know.
You may or may not have the free Windows Media Player in your computer. You need it if you want to listen to music on each page.
Here is the link: -

Of course, this is based on history, legends, traditions, or whatever you want to believe. I just gathered a bit from here and there.
If you would, please email me, from the link in the site, so I know you got it [ and I know that it works. :) ] The links are simple (too simple? - ha) to see.
According to Britannica Online, though wood engravers produced prints with religious themes in the European Middle Ages, the first Christmas card, as the term is now understood, is believed to have been designed by John Callcott Horsley in England in 1843, created for his friend Sir Henry Cole. An edition of 1,000 cards was placed on sale in London. It was lithographed on stiff cardboard, 5 1/8 by 3 1/4 inches, in dark sepia and hand-colored. The center of the card shows a family party in progress, beneath which were the words "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You." To one side is a scene of the hungry being fed and to the other side the poor being clothed. In the United States, the owner of a variety store in Albany, N.Y., in the mid-19th century produced a card carrying Christmas greetings from "Pease's Great Variety Store in the Temple of Fancy."
So, consider this a "Holiday, Christmas, Season's Greetings" card from me to you!
