I'm not a big fan of keeping random crap around the house. We have enough of it ourselves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34369 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:12:19 +0000 sunshine44 34369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a hoarder, so I do keep all the cards I get. Hubby hates it, I have boxes and boxes of cards and notes from everyone. I feel like *one day* I'll go back and look at them......one day I will =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34338 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:50:01 +0000 Boogs 34338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I hope at least they're getting tossed in the recycle bins! ;) Glad to hear you'll be donating, I personally think it's a great cause. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34273 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:21:50 +0000 cyndistar3 34273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is a family photo christmas card I keep it and put it on the fridge till next year then I put it in a box. If it is just a card I generally toss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34265 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:17:25 +0000 chopsuey 34265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I know!

In that case I'll leave it on my fridge for a few months before tossing. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34236 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:08:30 +0000 Boogs 34236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually really surprised at how many people toss them. For those who do, have you ever heard of card donation/recycling? Is it something you would consider? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34209 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:24:19 +0000 MegWag 34209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@carrieknitscake: Cool.

I kept all of the cards from our wedding and I like to keep birth announcements, and I keep cards my husband gives me. But I throw away Christmas and birthday cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34055 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:15:22 +0000 carrieknitscake 34055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been throwing away the non-family picture ones. I saved only the picture ones from last year and the year before. I keep wedding invites, thank you's, etc. in a box we received a wedding present in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-34005 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:10:42 +0000 Rosie Girl 34005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33944 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:26:14 +0000 BabyLove 33944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cards are the one and only item that I would consider myself a hoarder of. With all other things I am a purger. I do not like clutter and I can't stand keeping things that are pretty much useless. But, I have not thrown out a single card (holiday or otherwise) since I was 8 years old. As you can imagine, there is a large storage bin of them in the basement but it's sometimes really fun to go back and look at them. Well, at least the more personal ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33935 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:23:01 +0000 MegWag 33935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-make-3d-paper-ball-ornaments.html?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=twitter&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HowAboutOrange+%28How+About+Orange%29" rel="nofollow">http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-make-3d-paper-ball-ornaments.html?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=twitter&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HowAboutOrange+%28How+About+Orange%29</a></p> <p>Enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33934 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:22:47 +0000 mediagirl 33934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We save them for a year and then toss them when the new ones come in. I like to decorate with Christmas cards, so I have to have old ones until I can replace them with the new ones! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33926 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:21:01 +0000 chopsuey 33926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: seriously. thank you cards for everything! a simple text, phone call or email will do! :P HAHA. my husband tells me NOT to send anything when he hears me complain, but I don't want to be THAT niece/dil/sil/aunt/etc! -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33918 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:18:45 +0000 heffalump 33918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them. We have a big box for miscellaneous photos. It's fun to go through all the old cards and see how people change.</p> <p>I'm not offended if people throw away my card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33917 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:18:29 +0000 Rosie Girl 33917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: OMG! DH's family gives cards for everything!

I'm always up for a craft! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33912 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:16:26 +0000 Sunshine1810 33912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We throw ours out a little while after Christmas. We have a lot of the photos up on our refrigerator, but then we throw them out afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33906 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:13:38 +0000 HabesBabe 33906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I toss after the event is over (the holiday, the wedding, the baby's 1st bday, etc.). I wish I was more sentimental, but I would never look at that stuff again if I saved it in a shoebox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33899 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:11:04 +0000 Boogs 33899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a photo box where I keep photo cards, the rest I donate to St. Jude's instead of throwing them out: <a href="http://www.stjudesranch.org/shop/recycled-card-program/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stjudesranch.org/shop/recycled-card-program/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33898 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:10:57 +0000 MegWag 33898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually toss, but I saw a neat blog post the other day about turning them into Christmas ornaments which is a really cool idea. I'll probably do that from here on out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33897 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:10:30 +0000 chopsuey 33897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: Ok good! Glad I'm not the only one. I never gave cards out before I got married, but I feel pressured to now. -.- Since EVERYONE on my hubs' side sends out Christmas cards..<br /> and thank you cards and blah blah blah cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-christmas-cards#post-33891 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:09:07 +0000 Rosie Girl 33891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a tosser too! That is one reason why I hate giving card period. If the person I am giving it to is like me, they will toss them, so why waste the money?! </p>
