Let me start by saying that I'm not a saver. I don't save anything! Liz gives me a hard time to pitching things but I just don't like keeping stuff around that I don't need.
That being said, I save my Christmas cards every year. I don't know why. I've saved every card since the first Christmas we were married. Every year while decorating I would flip through the ziploc bags of each year and remember funny things and pictures from each and every card. They are memories...even though I'm not in the pictures I remember our friends and where they were in their lives each year at Christmas.
A few years ago I decided to actually do something with them instead of just keep them in bags in the attic. So I got really large ring clips, punched holes in the all and organized them by year.
Seriously it was that easy! I put our card on top and a "cover" with the year.
Now I get them out at Christmas time so we can look at them and remember all of our friends' cards. It really is fun to look at them.
I also have a photo album for our Christmas cards and Santa pictures. It's nothing fancy, just something I picked up at Target.
Each left page has our Christmas card...
and the right page has our Santa picture(s).
Like I said, nothing fancy, but its definitely fun to look at them from time to time.
What do you do with your cards and Santa pictures??
