How long do you keep Christmas cards before tossing them?
01-12-2019 06:22 AM
I pack them with the Christmas decorations so I can refresh my mind as to who sent cards next Christmas. Ususally from the same friends and relatives.

I do the same thing. Otherwise, I am prone to forgetting. Plus, next year when I am getting the decorations out, I love looking at them again.

I am probably in the minority here, but I read them, show them to DH and then trash them. I have the same Christmas card list for years, so I will continue to send them out until?????

I put mine in the recycle bin yesterday. Sometimes I keep them a little bit longer.

I save the picture cards in a manila envelope labeled with the year. I also place cards with special notes in them in there too. The rest I recycle.

Such an interesting question, @Phillygurrl. I toss some when I take down decorations, but I keep my favorites. I use these to make gift tags and small boxes for the next year.

Mine are still taped to my front doors. I like to see them as I go up & down the stairs. One day I will decide to take them down. There is no set time.

I cut off the front and tape it over the Chico logo on the front of their bag in which I tuck a Christmas gift the next year. Same with other bags if they are classy enough.
I add a jingle bell or satin wrapped ball with bow to the satin cord handles of the bag and write a “ To / From “ on the bag.
Reused: tissue paper, bag, Christmas card
Time saved: no fighting with wrapping paper, tiny gift tags
Checklist: I have my annual gift lists from years ago. Keeps me from repeating same gifts.

When the decorations and tree are taken down the cards go into the trash
