THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
The First Christmas Card Was Sent In the
Twelfth Century.

The First Christmas Card Was Sent In the
Twelfth Century.
1t is probably to Pierre Abelard, the
eminent scholar Of the twelfth century,
that we owe the fashion Of sending
Christmas cards. We are told that,
while Heloise was in the convent at Ar
g%enteuil, Abelard took advantage Of his
learning, the greatest Of his time, to
send her a Christmas greeting. This
greeting took the form of al elaborate
missive inscribed on parchment.
This was about the year 1870. A lit
tie later than that the custom Of send
ing Christmas cards became quite pop
ular in Germany. At first these cards
were very simple affairs, like the first
valentines, but in time they have grown
more and more elaborate. The first were
written; then they became printed.
BY some Abelard is denied the credit
of having invented Christmas cards.
The custom of sending them, they say,
dates many years before the time of
A~belard-in fact, long before the Chris
tian era, when the Gothic races wor-
SHIPPED Manus, Hertha and Tuisco.
Whether this is SO or not, the earliest
German Christmas cards are marked
with such pagan symbols as the yule
bowl, themistletoe, the larch, the spruce,
the fir, the evergreen, the holly and the
ivy. All Of these symbols, including
Santa Claus himself, are remnants Of
such ancient faiths as those of Thor,
Odin and Freya. A writer in Golden
Days adds that the Christmas card of
today came into fashion in this country
about 1926.
