Hi All,
As far as I know, everything starts with a humble begining.
The Story of Christmas Cards goes like this:
According to Jewish law, a loan has to be repaid within 7 years, after this
period the loan has to be scraped.
It so happened that a jewish gentleman loaned some money to a christian, 7
years passed, the loan was still oustanding.
This Jewish gentleman sent his friend a card TO REMIND him politely that he
was not DEAD, and there was no sin for a jew to ask a Christian for the
money to be repaid on a festive season, when all Employers paid their
employes festive bonuses .
Unfortunately this Christian had also lent money to his friends who did not
repay him, so, HE sent Cards during Christmas festive season.
THE BALL ROLLED.
Afra.
