This should not have been moved here. "Christmas Card" with two upper case letters is its own disamibugation. -- Zoe
The description here seems overly Jesus-centric; many Christmas cards in the US at least are based rather in the Santa Claus tradition. -- Brion 03:43 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
In Japan, Christmas cards sometimes have pictures of Santa being crucified. :-)
There are Christmas Cards and there are christmas cards--know what i mean? this is not a proper name!

I'm not angry, just confused. :) "Christmas" is a proper name. "Card" is not. Ergo, "Christmas card". (Except for the obscure album title, of course.) -- Brion 03:56 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
So what's your problem? The generic item is here. We're fine, leave it alone. -- Zoe
Is this Queen Mary the Mary of Teck, wife of George V, UK? Make clear? Cheers JackyR 20:22, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Not surprisingly, this page attracts a fair amount of linkspam from ecard and other card purveyors. I added an External Links section for historical archives and other material that does not relate directly to the article, but are relevant to the topic. I would suggest that noncommercial ecard and other sites are only worthy of links if they would significantly enhance the reader's understanding of past history or current trends in Christmas cards.

I've heard that the idea we have in Britain of Christmas being a time of snow was established during Victorian times, when the cards first became popular, and in writings by Dickens, was due to unusually cold weather at that time due to the eruption of a large volcano (Krakatoa?). In normal times, snow is quite rare on Christmas day in England, at least. Another thing I've heard is that this was due to Christmas being held in what we would now call January, prior to the change to the modern calendar. 78.147.242.123 ( talk) 21:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
