Have you ever wondered why we send Christmas cards, or why not every country sends cards? When was the first card sent? Who sent the first Christmas Card? How many Christmas cards are sent each year? In this video I'll answer some of these questions as I explore the history of the Christmas card.

A more technical resource than my usual ones, but I hope it will bring genetics to life in a more interesting way for students who are passionate about the wider world, oceans, animals, natural sciences, and marine biology.
