I usually read mine but always contemplate hanging them up on my door afterwards, but never seem to though. I do save my cards though for years of reading afterwards.

I have a homemade garland sort of thing that hangs down one side of our archway (the stockings hang on the other side) with little clips on it that holds all the cards we get. I think I made it a couple of years ago. Before that I had a special basket that all the cards landed in. This year I'm not sure which I'll use. I do keep them tho.
Blessings,
Garsy

They get put on the walls and in the doorway from dining to living room. They stay up way past Christmas. I love getting Christmas cards!

I hang mine on doors, doorways and walls. One year, when I took down all the Christmas things, I put the cards in a basket and used them as a prompt to pray for each person in turn. I should do that again. Eventually, the ones that have something personalized in them, plus all the Christmas letters, get put into my journalling binder.

I honestly don't think I've ever gotten one addressed to myself, haha. My parents would leave them standing in the middle of the dinning room table. My office would leave them standing on the file cabinets. The studio would tape them up on the wall. I don't expect to get any this year - but if we do, we'll probably keep them on the shelf in the dinning room. I'm a saver too, I keep all the cards I've ever gotten over the years. One neat idea I hope to keep going is from my husband's grandpa: to cut them up and reuse them in your own homemade cards.

We got Christmas card hangers. We also hang them in garlands across the walls, and sit them on any free surface, (bookshelves, tables etc).

We have book shelves around the walls in our den and we hang them on them on the shelves.

Thanx Maggie. I'm glad someone saw the humor. I was beginning to think I'd killed another thread. Is there a "Thread Killers Anonymous" that I can join?

LOL! Never looked. You could always start one. But would it last? Or would it be killed?

I agree, good idea of using them as a prayer reminder!

What a great idea--I am going to do this.
