Animals and Birds

Christmas cards featuring an animal or a bird are some of the most popular Christmas greetings sent to friends and family every year. Afterall, there is no better way to wish someone a happy Christmas, than to send them a card that features the ubiquitous and most popular birds on a Christmas card; the robin. An animal ranging from the picturesque Scottish highland cattle or of course, the legendary sleigh puller the Reindeer.

As a joke within the team, we counted the number of animals featured on our Christmas cards, so far we have counted more than a dozen, with births now far behind at severe and counting. Our favourite birth in this year’s Christmas card collection is the dove of peace, which symbolises one of the messages of Christmas.

Anecdotal evidence would suggest that robin is one of the most popular birds to incorporate into a Christmas greeting card. Dogs and cats are the clear favourite when it comes to the animals you are most likely to see on a Christmas greeting card. Tradition of incorporating the drawing of animals and birds in greeting cards, dates back to when Christmas cards were first introduced.
