'First Christmas Card' claim
[edit]I attempted to remove this statement from the article, because various sources show that it is incorrect. The first commercial Christmas card (there are older potential examples) was created in 1843 in London - 63 years before Rust Craft's 1906 card. Rust Craft's 1906 card wasn't even the first Christmas card in the United States - that was Louis Prang's card in 1880.
So despite the cited source claiming that Rust Craft's card is 'believed to be' the first Christmas card, I can't seem to find any other evidence of anyone actually believing that - and even if there are examples, it's not true. Therefore I've removed the claim from the article again.
