My first Christmas Card arrived today! It was from a real person with real handwritten letter - not that I actually know the lady in question: she was a student friend of my late mother, and I believe my father has met her just once many, many years ago.

Well, is it a record? Is this the earliest Christmas card?

Mind you, I was given my first Christmas present on October 31st - although there was a reason for that - and I won't be opening it until the proper day.
