Christmas Cards (again!)

Have you got some nice Christmas markets in your area? I helped out at our local one in Niedernhausen yesterday and had a lot of fun selling and of course drinking mulled wine 😊. I just love this time of year in Germany and am happy that I infected my “boys” at an early age. We have had a lot of fun tree this past week putting up and decorating the house with lights and the all important tree.

Of course I have been writing my Christmas cards which you can read all about in my Christmas blog from last year.

Since then, I have read that the first Christmas card was actually sent out by Michael Maier, a German physicist, who sent the card to James 1 of England in 1611. I have also often wondered why robins (Rotkehlchen) feature on a lot of Christmas cards and have now found out that back in the 19^th century, British postmen used to wear bright red uniforms and soon became known as ‘robins’. They therefore became a popular motif, commonly depicted as sitting on top of postboxes.

Here are a couple more nice texts for English business cards:

Season’s greetings! May your business be merry and bright throughout the festive season and beyond.

Sending holiday cheer to your business – may the coming year be filled with growth, accomplishments, and joy.
