Some of you will remember - I hope - that great Rolf Harris TV special we watched some years ago about Christmas Cards - this card is believed to be the very first, sent in England in 1843.
Opening the mailbox in the weeks before Christmas is such fun each day: heaps of cards, some from old friends I haven't seen or spoken to for years. We catch up on news; children who have left home. started their own families - and sadder news too of deaths and illness, separation and sadness.
When we arrive in the UK our family's houses in Yeovil will be hung with hundreds of Christmas cards, featuring robins, holly, ivy as well as traditional snowy or Bethlehem scenes.
I loved looking at cards chosen by US Presidents - check them out on:
