The Culture of Cards
During my stay in Sheffield, I experienced many aspects of the culture of England. Through this experience, I found something new and something important.
There's one point that I would like to focus on today: the custom of sending a greeting card on a precious day.
Cards on display
In my host family's house, there were a lot of greeting cards displayed in their room, so I asked them why they have so many greeting cards. They told me it is customary in the U.K. to send a greeting card on an important day such as their birthday, anniversary, and Christmas. On Christmas Day, everyone exchanges greeting cards with each other to show their gratitude.
You can find any type.
I understood the reason why I saw many kinds of cards being sold everywhere when I went shopping. I was so impressed with the culture to express one's gratitude to someone honestly.
