This blue and brown card honors the day known as "Boston Tea Party Day" that occurs on December 16th every year in the United States. This day celebrates the beginning of the American Revolution that gave us our independence from England. Groups of people climbed aboard British ships in Boston Harbor that were leaded with tea, coming from England. They threw the packages of tea into Boston Harbor, rejecting England and beginning a revolution. The card's wooden boat is shown next to tea packages floating in the white capped water, beneath the sun and clouds above. At the bottom of the card, lettering says "Boston Tea Party Day". The inside wording of the card says "Honor the day that brewed our American Revolution and was just the beginning of our quest for freedom!"
