A task posted on the 24/12/21 from the SLJ blog was to create a seasonal greeting card, they have also displayed a bunch of videos on a slide deck for ideas to make the cards. Before looking at making the cards I have taken a look at the History of Christmas cards
These are the cards I have made for this activity.
Modern Christmas cards can represent a collection of designs, from dramatic depictions of nativity to images of Santa Claus and of his reindeer's, or the scenery of winter nature. However modern technologies like sending emails, messages, or any online communication have taken a toll on Christmas cards. In spite of that many families and friends still find time to mail out cards to their loved ones.
Another thing that I have learned is that it is estimated that nearly two billion Christmas cards are sent out each year, and each household receives an average of approximately twenty cards each holiday season, which blows my mind now knowing that someone out there is sending out this many holiday cards each holiday. It's really nice and thoughtful that people out there prepare cards for many others to ensure happiness throughout the holidays.
Kia ora Hope,
ReplyDeleteWow! Well done completing the Christmas card activity! These are some fantastic and creative cards. Did you enjoy this activity?
Those are some interesting Christmas card facts you found! So the first Christmas cards were sent over 400 years ago, that's a very long time! I wonder what the cards looked like back then and if they are similar to today's cards?
That's a lot of cards sent every year! I agree that it is nice to know that people are caring for and thinking about each other at this time of the year.
I’m marking this post as an outstanding blog post, for your creativity and awesome research into the history of Christmas cards! Keep up the excellent mahi.
