Wish your wonderful sister-in-law a Merry Christmas with a card featuring adorable penguins, one in pink, ice skating wearing a scarf, bow and earmuffs behind a little one sitting on a bench, while one in blue is standing in the snow just looking cute. The background is decorated with big colorful trees against a blue sky with white text. Original design by Laurie Schneider, elements by Nini Scrap, La Galerie de Jackie. Several ice-skating ponds sprang up around New York City in the early 19th century, but these catered almost exclusively to the upper class. Central Park changed that when its first skating pond opened in the winter of 1858. Since the surrounding restaurants already served New Yorkers of all incomes and backgrounds, the pond did the same, transforming the frozen water into a frozen melting pot that reflected the diversity of the city itself.
