Hi Yvonne,  Hi  Jim,

Many thanks to you both.  I love the way you've both used the colours.  It almost looks like it was taken yesterday doesn't it?

Does anyone know when the use of photographs as Christmas cards came in?  Just curious as I have 3 of my Dad.

Once again, I appreciate your hard work...thank you

Debbie

I have a postcard marked Merry Christmas on the front by the photographer dating to about 1904. Pic of grandmother with her parents (Mums side)

Well, that will be a very early one then...you're lucky to have it!

Cheers,
