Learn the History and Stats of the Christmas Card Tradition

Do you know where and how the tradition of sending Christmas cards began? Would you believe that one person actually sent 62,824 Christmas cards to obtain the world record? Well this infographic filled with Christmas card fun facts gives you those answers and more.

I don't know about you, but I certainly would not pay $35,800 for a Christmas card. In 2001, the very first lithographically printed, hand-colored Christmas card was sold at auction for that whopping price! Only 15% of men send Christmas cards. But, good news for the graphic designers and printers out there, in the USA over 2 billion Christmas cards are sent each year. Have you sent yours yet?
