@PamfromCT wrote:@Growing, That’s an interesting question you asked. I do admire people who are still growing, but part of growth could be to accept that others are different from you. My attitude is that people should do what personally makes them happy, as long as they are not hurting anyone or anything.
People save things like cards as tangible remembrances of love, I think. I also think the world needs a lot more love, however people privately and publicly express it. You are entitled to your beliefs, but I am curious to know why people who save remembrances and are sentimental bother you so much.
Very jugemental and mean reply. If you are happy doing things your way, then no need to write something that gaslights me. Social media brings out the mean in many people as you have shown.

I don't see what's wrong with saving them! If you have the space, that is. I have many cards from loved ones who are gone now and I treasure their words. And of course all the sweet things the grand kids say to me in a card. I vote to keep them!!!

@Starpolisher When I receive cards with the family photos (sometimes a cute pet included), I keep the most recent ones. I have photos of the GDs and kids that I keep.

I have many cards that I keep because I enjoy reading them. I have several letters and cards from former students. They were written to me years ago, and I treasure each misspelled word and sweet thought. I have some my dad wrote to my mother when he was stationed in Fiji during WWII...I can't toss those. My mother had the most beautiful handwriting...a lost art these days. I treasure her cards with that handwriting. Periodically I go through my boxes of cards and will toss a few. Scanning them isn't the same to me. I want to hold them, open them, and read them.

I wouldn't just throw those cards away.
I'm almost positive that someone in your area would love to use those cards in some way.
Some people cut out gift tags from the front of the card, etc.
Also, I recall running across someone who made postal cards from the front of the various holiday cards. Only, she said that you must use a regular stamp on the regular sized cards.
The post office website has the measurements of postal cards.
The smaller dimension cards can be stamped with lower priced postage stamps. 'postcard stamps'.
Anyway, if you have some sort of free give-away website in your area, I would post a 'Free Christmas cards' post and see who might be interested.

Marie Kondo says, "if it brings you joy, you get to keep it". Let your kids pitch them down the road. In fact, Make a scrapbook of them, what fun!!!

I don't keep that stuff, but I guess I did the few Ch cards from 2019. I'm so happy about that though. That was the year, of my sister's last Ch card. 2020 she was too sick with cancer and lost her in 2021. I will treasure that one card, that means so much to me. Someone else someday, can pitch it, I won't. @Carmie I did learn how to let go of other things, after having to tend to my folk's home and belongings. It does teach you a lot.

I have "respect" for all the family cards I have saved..
After having a gift business for years..I will never throw them away..My kids will just toss them in a dumpster one day.
I bought a medium sized covered tote about 9'x12 inches..I put dividers in and labeled them.."from Grandchildren","from Children", "from Siblings"and so on.

I have one box that I keep my special cards in. It is almost full. They are my favorites. I can sit and look at them whenever I want. Some make me laugh and some make me cry. I treasure the memories they hold. Do what makes you happy.
