February 21 Card Reading Day

Today is the day you break out all those cards people have sent you and re-read them, smiling as you remember the intent behind the cards and those that sent them. (You did save them, didn’t you!?!) Greeting Cards were first sent in China (Wasn’t everything) and Valentine’s Day made them very popular starting even back in the 1400’s. Special postage stamps were designed in the 1840’s so that it was a little cheaper to send cards. It’s sort of a lost art these days with being able to send ecards and all, but at least the thought is still there.

How to celebrate – Break out your saved cards. Make sure to reply to all those sent cards. make up a list of people to send cards too.
