Another story is that in 1843, there was a sculpture apprentice named Henggaoer in England. Because he didn't have time to write congratulatory letters to his family and friends at Christmas, he cut some white paper and asked a famous painter to draw a picture of the whole family sitting together to celebrate Christmas. Among the pieces of paper, he wrote a congratulatory message: "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" "

After sending it to relatives and friends, he cooperated with the painter and printed 1000 copies as it is. Except for the 100 copy they left for themselves, the rest were sold at the price of 1 shilling. Since then, they have had Christmas cards.
