Buy a standard (large blank page) photo album and as soon as the season is over, put all the cards in the pages with whatever year at the top/beginning. If you have a label maker or printer, maybe even print the year on photo paper in color. It is ultimate christmas organizing, and I just paste a pretty christmas tree card on the front of the album. So fun to look through the years when I get it out at christmastime!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-90916136279125128652019-12-09T17:38:10.670-05:002019-12-09T17:38:10.670-05:00I love those things!

Now people barely send cards due to laziness and the lack of the tradition carrying on. I got a sum total of 5 last year and 3 were from my sisters. It really is sad because I love beautiful cards. I do not like getting photo cards...they don’t look like Christmas to me.

I use command hooks to drape ribbon around a door frame (works best if it is an open doorway, not one with an actual door on it) and then used closed pins to hang the cards. That way you have cards running all around the frame. For the last few years I have done it around the entry to the kitchen.<br /><br />I have picked up cute/festival clothes pins at the dollar spot in target. Haven't seem them this year but they have had them for the last several. Clothes pin with a tree or reindeer on it adds a nice touch. Typically they have 4 for a dollarKristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-23625178485632886232019-12-06T08:23:09.865-05:002019-12-06T08:23:09.865-05:00This is cute!

If there are no pictures of people on the cards I toss them after Christmas.<br />With the ones I do keep, I put them in a cute Christmas box and store them with my Christmas decor and just set the box out the next year. My kids like seeing how much loved ones change from year to year looking back at old cards.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780023316525202930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-85132005509010405922014-12-24T10:05:42.838-05:002014-12-24T10:05:42.838-05:00Thank you for this idea!

All casual and on the fly. I display cards on a card stand made by Firstborn in Cub Scouts years ago - it's wonky but wonderful.

I think its easy to get caught up in trying to have the best trendiest cards and you kinda forget the reason for sending them which is to tell others you're thinking about them.
