How long do you keep Christmas cards for?

[Bretrick]

Are you a hoarder or do you dispose of them after 2 weeks? 2 Months, 6 months or a year?
Or do you have boxes of them in the attic dating back to the 70's?

 

[PeppermintPatty]

usually years since I use them later for gift labels

 

[DebraMae]

Special ones I keep forever.

 

[hollydolly]

I keep every one my daughter sends me , from when she was little to now as she approaches 48 ... but the others I throw away after the holidays are over

I usually keep them until the end of January and then dispose of them except those from my family.

 

[Teacher Terry]

By January first they are gone.

 

[Jules]

January 1st they were long gone. They might have been gone sooner

 

[mrstime]

Depends on who they are from, and what they say.

 

[Capt Lightning]

My elder daughter makes some great cards. We keep them.

 

[Beezer]

We keep them all on the coffee table, then clear them out in the new year.

 

[perplexed]

I keep the family ones are if they are picture cards.

That's me. I have boxes and I've weeded them out here and there. I have made some into tags and I fully intend to make some mini boxes as one poster here does.

I don't, actually. They re in the trash by the end of the day. Seems a bit Scrooge like..but I do not display them...andtreat them as any other mail

 

[debodun]

I bundle them up, mark what year they are from and put them in with the Christmas things.

 

[Llynn]

I only received one this year. It was in the recycling bin the same day.

I love Christmas cards, and tend to keep them. I have boxes of them. The art and beauty that goes into these cards is unmatched.

Yes, and I remember the people that took the thought (and expense if mailed) to give them. Holiday card may be coming a thing of the past after reading some comments in this thread and personal experience. This year I gave out 21 cards and received 10.

 

[Don M.]

We usually toss them a couple days after Christmas.

Family I keep. Everyone else, re-cycled after New Year's Day.
