However, it was only by the 14-15th century that the Europeans finally caught on to the greeting cards exchange tradition. But better late than never, right. :-) Why Dame Fortune Is on Many New Years CardsWhen you scroll down to look at the many New Years greeting cards below, you will notice that some of the old vintage New Year cards feature Dame Fortune as a Gypsy woman (or go here to find more Dame Fortune Happy New Year Cards). Dame Fortune or (Fortuna, as she is also called), is originally quite an ambiguous goddess of fortune in Roman religion. She can be in a good mood and bring you luck, which of course is nice! However, she can also be less charitable and bring you bad luck! Not so nice, obviously! So as you can see staying on Dame Fortune good side is definitely to prefer. What is Death Doing on Happy New Years Cards?Well, first of all the old white bearded man with the long cloak that you may see on New Years greeting cards is actually not Mr. Death himself. No, he is Father Time! Father can be easily recognized as he is often holding a scythe or an hourglass. Father Time represents changes; death being one of them. In New Years cards he most often depicted as defeated by a sweet little angel or a young woman (his wife Mother Earth). In this way his defeat may symbolize the beginning of a new life cycles starting January first. Anyway, enough talking for now ... Go On - Enjoy These Happy New Year Greeting Cards
