For some of us, we have to put our Christmas decorations away. What I did wonder, is what do you do with your Christmas cards? Our pastor told us, that he keeps the cards sent to him, and through the year continues to pray for those people. I thought it was a great idea to try myself and share with others. I would love to hear what you do. All the best for 2019. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about adding to my 'pack rat' behaviors, but a little box full of our friends and relatives personal hand written, signed Christmas celebration is a great idea. I believe this would honor the One who is being celebrated..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate throwing them away as well. Although I don't get as many as I used to. I don't think as many people send Christmas cards now like they did in the past. Our Christmas decorations are still up. It always seems sad when it's time to take them down. Here in Scotland, the 2nd January is also a holiday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
