"for a Jolly Christmas!"; 'Hoot' is in red plaid, 'Jolly Christmas' in green; "I'll send a card to wish ye A Christmas full of cheer I'll sign my name in pencil So ye'll use the card next year"; dashed line below with pencilled "Anne"; coloured holly and thistles below; card is original and addition; signed on reverse by Frank Rose and Gordon Loutet and their families from 1929 to 1959; additional card of similar size glued to the bottom edge to accomodate additional signatures from 1960 to 2003.
- Object History
- Frank Rose of Burnaby and Gordon Loutet of Lake Cowichan exchanged this Christmas card from 1929 to 2003. The card was first sent from Frank to Gordon in 1929, when the two boys were 12 years old, and lived a block away from each other. Frank suggested, as does the card, that Gordon erase his pencilled signature and return the card the next year - which Gordon did. The two friends and their families continued the exchange until 2003. The exchange was uninterrupted, even during WWll and the card was never lost in the mail. In 1991, the card received international recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records.
