The author observes that the custom originated in Germany but was popularized in England before spreading to other countries, including the United States. The book asserts that the first Christmas cards were religious in nature, often featuring angels announcing the birth of Jesus to shepherds. However, over time, Christmas cards have grown into a more secular tradition, with a wide range of designs and themes available. The author discusses the role that artists and designers have played in the development of Christmas cards, and how the cards have reflected broader cultural trends and values. The book concludes by musing on the enduring popularity of Christmas cards, suggesting that they have become a way for people to express their love and appreciation for one another during the holiday season.
