Wondering what to do with the Christmas cards you receive each year? You can display them around your home, save them as keepsakes to revisit later, or repurpose them into creative holiday projects. Each approach lets you enjoy the photos and personal messages from friends and family in meaningful and festive ways.
Display Them Around Your Home
One way to enjoy your Christmas cards is by turning them into part of your holiday decor. Clip them onto a string with clothespins to make a festive garland, or arrange them on a bulletin board or framed corkboard for a rotating display of cards from friends and family. You can also stick a few on your mantel with small stands or frames, letting the photos and messages be part of your seasonal decorations.
Save Them as Keepsakes
If you want to preserve memories, create a scrapbook or memory box specifically for holiday cards. Slip each card in with the message side visible, so you can read notes from loved ones and enjoy photos for years to come. Over time, these collections can become a nostalgic way to remember milestones, family updates, and holiday traditions from past years.
Repurpose for Fun Projects
Christmas cards can be transformed into creative holiday crafts. Cut favorite photos or illustrations from the cards to make gift tags, turn card fronts into ornaments, or collage them into a seasonal greeting poster for your wall. You can even use sections of cards for handmade holiday stationery or note cards, giving the photos and messages a new life in your own festive projects.
