Greeting Card

A printed or digital card sent to convey good wishes or seasonal greetings for holidays and special occasions, a tradition that became commercially popular in Victorian Britain following the introduction of the Penny Post in 1840. Christmas cards, Eid cards, Diwali cards, and Lunar New Year cards are among the most widely exchanged, with billions sent globally each year, and the rise of digital e-cards has transformed but not displaced the tradition of personal holiday correspondence.
