Are you sending Christmas cards this year?

According to this short article:

  • The first Christmas card was in 1843 but the idea took some 20 years to become popular.
  • This year, in the UK we will send an estimated 900 million cards – around 100 million fewer than last year.
  • Some 80% of people in a poll said that they would prefer a physical Christmas card to an e-card.
  • In the UK, charities raise around £50 million a year from the sale of Christmas cards.

    I only send them to neighbours and friends who live too far away I can’t greet them in person. What happened to the Darlington Christmas newsletter? Merry Christmas!
