The Christmas Seal began in 1904 when Einar Holboen, a Copenhagen postal clerk, conceived stamps to fund a children's hospital. With royal endorsement, the first seal decorated Christmas mail and funded a Danish hospital for tuberculous children.
Jacob Rile, Emily P. Bissell, and the Christmas seal movement launched a nationwide effort against tuberculosis. From 1907 to 1920 the American Red Cross and National Tuberculosis Association shaped fundraising and public health work, leading to state programs, laws, clinics, and prevention education through the annual Christmas seal campaign.
