Animated Christmas Card - Outside Scene
I was clearing out my old Christmas 2000 CDs, when I found this old festive presentation. When you click on various parts of the picture, a Christmas Tree appears. As you click in more elements on the presentation, so candles and Christmas presents appear. Please note, you have to download the presentation to see the full effect. These are two static files, however, there is a free download file underneath my still pictures.

Animated Christmas Card - Indoor Scene
The indoor Christmas scene follows the same idea as the first animated Christmas card, you click on elements on the Christmas tree, and angels, lights and presents appear. Once again, you have to download the file to see the effect. The above are merely static pictures showing two of the many stages.
Free download of the whole Christmas Presentation.
We wish that we could get more of this type of presentation. We would be happy to give credit and links to the source sites.

Christmas trees:
These arrived in England in the 1830's and became enormously popular when Price Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, took a tree to Windsor Castle in 1841. It is thought that the first tree to be decorated with lights was in 1882 when the vice-president of the Thomas Edison Electric Company, E. Johnson, strung together small light bulbs on his tree.

The World's Oldest Christmas Card
A Christmas card has arrived at its destination some 33 years after it was posted reports the Scotsman newspaper.
Staff at Kirkton Community Centre in Dundee received the card, which had a 3p stamp and was postmarked Kilmarnock, 20 December, 1973. It was sent to Robert Stevenson, a former employee, who left in the 1970's to go on a round-the-world trip.
Christmas cards:
The first card was designed by John Callcott Horsley in 1840.He was an artist from London. The first 1000 cards went on sale in 1843 for the equivalent of 5p each.
THE Traditional Christmas Card
Stephen and Glynis Woolner first sent each other Christmas cards way back in 1978 and they have continued to send the same cards to each other for the last 29 years. Every year they pack the cards away with their decorations and then resurrect them the following year. It all started as a joke when Stephen decided to give it to Glynis his again and she had decided to do the same and now they do it every year.
Each year they write a new message on the card. Glynis told The Sun newspaper, 'We are going to have to glue a sheet of paper in so we can carry on. Friends come round and say ''Not those old cards again'', but we love it. If he bought me a brand new card now I wouldn't accept it.'
House Decorations
Every year, house decorations get more outrageous. Here is another download of the best or worst of this genre, depending on whether or not you live next door to the featured house. This is just a video, be warned it does go on for quite a while.
