Talk:Christmas card
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This should not have been moved here. "Christmas Card" with two upper case letters is its own disamibugation. -- Zoe
The description here seems overly Jesus-centric; many Christmas cards in the US at least are based rather in the Santa Claus tradition. --Brion 03:43 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
In Japan, Christmas cards sometimes have pictures of Santa being crucified. :-)
- I was devasted to hear that this is probably an urban myth. I suspect that if such a thing does nowadays exist, it is a deliberate joke based oin the original myth or story. Funny how many of the best stories end up not being true, isn't it? <sigh> Nevilley 17:48 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC)
There are Christmas Cards and there are christmas cards--know what i mean? this is not a proper name!

I'm not angry, just confused. :) "Christmas" is a proper name. "Card" is not. Ergo, "Christmas card". (Except for the obscure album title, of course.) --Brion 03:56 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
So what's your problem? The generic item is here. We're fine, leave it alone. -- Zoe
[edit] Which Queen Mary?
Is this Queen Mary the Mary of Teck, wife of George V, UK? Make clear? Cheers JackyR 20:22, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, good point! Certainly not the first, I don't think she had much leisure time. Fixed. (With link.) Lindmere 18:05, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Commercial and Personal Websites
Not surprisingly, this page attracts a fair amount of linkspam from ecard and other card purveyors. I added an External Links section for historical archives and other material that does not relate directly to the article, but are relevant to the topic. I would suggest that noncommercial ecard and other sites are only worthy of links if they would significantly enhance the reader's understanding of past history or current trends in Christmas cards.
