Xmas Cards

[fruitsalad]

Where do you put them, mine are driving me mad they keep falling over

[Prudie]

i RUN SELLOTAPE FROM THE TOP OF DOORS TO THE BOTTOM AND STICK THE INSIDE BIT OF THE CARDS BEHIND IT.

[Tilly2]

I have two card holders that the cards slip in to. They are in the hallway. I open the card, think, 'Oh goodness, I haven't sent them one!' then pop it in the card holder with the rest. Job done.

I put mine on the mantelpiece. Why do yours keep falling over? Are they all landscape rather than portrait? I find landscape ones do tend to collapse.

[ethandron]

Mine are stacked in the kitchen, I don't ever display them, they fall over and annoy me. And I can't abide hanging them on ribbon or hangers. I may just bin them as they arrive in future.

Mrs av usually uses this method, also the same method as Prudie.

[ummmm]

Pretty much the same as Eth...

[ethandron]

Not surprised Ummmm, ;)

[weecalf]

Bin maybe

[fruitsalad]

Clover yes lots of them are landscape this year, it can be a draft when walking past them, the door being opened, heat from the radiator.

[maggiebee]

Have a neat little stack in the kitchen and there they will stay til Boxing Day when they will be recycled.

[Eleena]

I usually hang them over a set of beads hung from the wall, carrying on a tradition my mum uses.

[ummmm]

I have informed people for years not to send me paper cards. I'd be happy with an e-card. My room isn't big enough without them making the room look really cluttered.

[Prudie]

it's a bit of a shame when people send them and they end up in a pile. It's a ridiculous waste really, I spent £25 in Clintons on cards and stamps the other day.

[Eleena]

Was that the large fancy boxes Prudie? Buy two get one free? I bought some.

[maggiebee]

Understand how you feel Prudie, but I would rather have given the £25 to my favourite charity.

[Prudie]

Yes it was their boxes. really expensive. The really annoying habit is work colleagues who I speak to every day all seem to send me cards, usually also from their partner and all their kids names - people I don't know from Adam so I feel obliged to do the same. Now that is a waste.

[Eleena]

Ha ha, nice cards though aren't they x

[atalanta]

2 double wall-light fittings on same wall - strings between the two - hang the cards on three or four strings. Only problem - the radiator is under the strings, and the cards flap back and forth in the rising warm air, which makes things a bit spooky.

[Eleena]

Laughing like Mutley here atlanta, or they start to curl! ;0)

[ethandron]

One year I just stopped sending cards. I told those who I saw not to send me one either, and although some still do, some have also stopped. It's a great relief, I really don't need or want a card from anyone.
I live in a cul de sac and we still get cards from a few people even though they never get one from us. Why? It's a waste of time and money.
