GEM: The History of
the Christmas Seal - How Our Ancestors Made A
Difference!
It's very likely that your great
grandparents, grandparents and parents put Christmas Seals on the
Christmas cards and packages. It all started on a stormy
December night in 1903 a postman named Einar Holboell was working
late in a post office sorting large piles of Christmas mail:
Put this stamp with message bright
On every Christmas letter;
Help the tuberculosis fight,
And make the New Year better.
The
American Lung Association .
