It\u2019s February and I just put away the Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong> that were sent to me this past holiday. You may wonder why it took me this long. Yes, I know it\u2019s been a month and a half since Christmas but I was enjoying the artistry of the holiday cards and didn\u2019t feel the need to take them down immediately. Or maybe I\u2019m just lazy!<\/p>\n

During the Christmas season, I display all of the holiday cards that my husband and I receive on the back of our front door. With a little tape and strategic positioning, the door quickly turns into a collective masterpiece of Christmas trees, ornaments, snowmen, and landscapes. Photo cards showcase the smiling faces of our nieces, nephews, and friends\u2019 children, who all seem to grow up faster and faster every year. Also included are business Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong> extending season\u2019s greetings from our employers and colleagues. It\u2019s nice to pass by the colorful display and admire all of the well wishes sent to us by friends and family.<\/p>\n

All good things must come to an end though, so I relented and decided it was time to take down the holiday cards. I don\u2019t throw them out because I like to reuse the designs in creative and eco-friendly ways. Greeting cards are perfect for making decorations or adding some style when wrapping gifts. Keeping our Christmas cards also ensures that we include each sender on next year\u2019s mailing list. I look forward to seeing new cards next Christmas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christmas cards have a beauty that doesn\u2019t fade once the holiday is over.
