No this isn't really THE first Christmas card EVER, but it IS the first Christmas card I ever designed, and what is special about it also is that for about the next 5 years after this one, I was sending out photocopied Christmas cards every year to my family and friends on green or red paper. (I think I was just a bit too busy after my first son came along, after that!) The 3 cats squeezed into the center of the picture are Beastie-Bear, Misty and DM (short for "DangerMouse," after the British cartoon mouse series!)
Here is the real "First Christmas Card" that inspired it!

and here is mine! ;)
