Henson Podcast 116 - Jim Henson Company Holiday Greeting Cards
The December 2011 episode of the Henson.com Podcast focuses on the history of the company's Christmas cards. Host Grant Baciocco interviews Karen Falk , director of The Jim Henson Company Archives .
"The first Muppet Christmas Cards were prints made by Jim Henson himself. They later became more elaborate but always reflected the corporate spirit that Jim valued! "[1]
Christmas Cards have been designed and given out by the Jim Henson Company since the early years and is a tradition that continues to this day. The cards have featured most Henson creations, including characters from Sam and Friends , Sesame Street , The Muppet Show , Fraggle Rock , Muppet Babies , The Dark Crystal , and, in recent cards, Puppet Up! , Sid the Science Kid , Dinosaur Train , and Pajanimals .
