Holi Greeting:

Holi Greeting In many ways, greeting cards are a Mirror of the times in which they are published, reflecting topical subjects, changing tastes, and current expressions and idioms. During the 1960's the characters of Charles Schulz' cartoon Peanuts-Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the rest—appeared on greeting cards and achieved popularity unequaled in greeting card history.

Greeting cards are produced in the United States by more than 200 publishers, from individuals who create only Christmas greetings to big firms like Hallmark Cards, Inc., of Kansas City, Mo. Hallmark has more than 13,000 employees worldwide, including the world's largest art department (some 500 artists), and offers some 14,000 new designs each year. Other important United States greeting card firms include Gibson, Norcross, and American Greetings. Several of the American companies export their cards, but differing social customs, lower price structures, and language barriers have complicated exports. Christmas cards are published in most Christian countries.


Switzerland is known everywhere for its energy in taming that handsome savage, Mother Nature, for its honesty in dealing with its big holi greetingday public, and for its meticulous cleanliness. Every hidden corner of the Swiss Confederation is clean, as you may see for yourself by poking in the corners (and nothing is more delightful). Pick out any little village on some branch of a branch line, choosing a name you like in the timetable,and take the trouble to go there and examine the place.
