National Send A Card To A Friend Day on February
7th reminds us to send friendly cheer through the
mail. We do that by sending a note or message on a
card to the friends we hold dear. Throughout the
year, we often think about our friends. We wonder
how they are, miss them, and remember fond
memories of times shared. Sending a card to
someone for a variety of reasons dates back to
ancient times. The Chinese would send elegantly
designed messages as well as the Egyptians, though
on different types of paper. During the
Renaissance, greeting cards gained popularity for
specific holidays and events. Victorian times
increased the use of the greeting card for
Valentine’s Day, Christmas, birthdays, and more.
So let’s celebrate this great tradition and send or
hand a card to a friend today. (Credit to the
