KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- This time of year, it's easy to overspend on gifts for friends and family, but sometimes it's the gift of a handwritten card that can be the best one of all.Annie Taylor visited Hallmark, the world's top greeting card maker, to learn more about the art of this century-old gift.Amy Goodnow is among those who know how special cards can be. Every holiday season, she remembers her dad by pulling out the cards she once wrote to him.“We were a big card sending family,” said Goodnow. “I had it instilled in me from a very young age to write thank you notes for everything.”Now that she has a daughter of her own, every Christmas they've made it a tradition to send greeting cards to friends and family.They’re not alone. About 1.2 billion cards are sent every holiday season."Greeting cards date back hundreds of years," said Samantha Bradbeer, the keeper of the vault at Hallmark, where cards from every decade are kept. "It was popularized under Queen Victoria during her reign in the 1830s."One of Hallmark’s senior writers, Kat Stano, says sincerity is key to crafting a good holiday card and remembering that everyone’s Christmas is different. "You want it to be honest,” said Stano. “You want to think about people’s current life situations and what they are going through."Geoff Greenleaf, one of Hallmark’s most famous artists, tries to encompass the classic American Christmas with each card he paints. "I grew up in Massachusetts,” said Greenleaf. “I just love the winter and find it’s a beautiful time of year."His paintings begin with intricate sketches."The way you can draw people in with a road or going home, there's a lot of emotion around that," Greenleaf said. Greenleaf’s art has been so well received, it became the inspiration behind Hallmark’s Christmas movie, “Evergreen.”If you’re looking for a gift that creates a lasting memory, Goodnow suggests giving a handwritten card. It might be the best way to show someone you care. 1981

Iran is denying a missile hit a Ukrainian airplane that crashed near Tehran this week and is calling on the U.S. and Canada to release data backing their allegations. Western leaders say the plane appeared to have been unintentionally hit by an Iranian missile, just hours after Iran launched a series of ballistic missiles on two American bases in Iraq, in retaliation for the killing of its top general in a U.S. airstrike. Ukranian International Airlines Flight 752 crashed Tuesday evening, killing 176 people. Among those killed were 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Brits, according to CNN.The plane crashed hours after Iran launched a series of missiles at an air base housing U.S. troops in Iraq. No one was injured in those attacks, and President Donald Trump said Wednesday that it appeared that Iran was "standing down."Iran said it launched the missiles in response to the U.S. assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Western leaders believe the Ukranian Airlines plane crash was part of that response.President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has "suspicions" about what happened to the plane. On Thursday he denied the Iranian claim that a mechanical issue caused the crash. In a press conference on Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that intelligence from "multiple sources" — both from Canada and its allies — indicated it was "highly likely" that an Iranian missile brought down the plane.If the U.S. and Canada provide proof that a missile downed the Ukrainian plane, it could inflame public opinion in Iran after many rallied around authorities following the U.S. strike that killed Iran's top general last week. 1723
