\"organizing<\/a><\/p>\n

Christmas cards arriving daily are a special part of the holiday season. We love looking at the family pictures and sharing family memories from the past year. Even though card sending has diminished <\/a>and with Facebook as our daily “family reunion,” we treasure our Christmas cards.\u00a0 But the end of the holiday season comes and we are faced with the dilemma of tossing or keeping cards.\u00a0 We also have the leftovers from our own cards where we over ordered.\u00a0 Gather your cards together in a basket or clothespin your cards on a wire to see them throughout the season.\u00a0 Check out these ways to organize your Christmas cards after the holidays.<\/p>\n

Cards from others<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are two schools of thought for keeping or not keeping cards.\u00a0 If cards become overwhelming, hold little meaning, or become a burden, it’s time to let go of them.\u00a0 You have my permission!\u00a0 We don’t need to keep every card that comes to us.\u00a0 Sit down with a wintery beverage and enjoy an hour of time to read your cards and enjoy the memories of the year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you treasure the memories, keep the cards grouped by year.<\/p>\n
