What do you do with your Christmas Cards???

How do you all display your Christmas cards?

We get tons of them each year and I don't have any clue how to display them. I usually just throw them into a basket on the coffee table.

I have seen Christmas Card Trees before, but can't find one I like now.

Anybody do anything special with your cards?

My tape mine on my wall around the Christmas tree.

I found this holder but I'm not sure if I want it . . . or where I'd put it.

Still looking for ideas . . .

We have this huge archway and usually tape them all to the wall around that.

I really like that holder and I haven't seen very many that I like!

I tape mine all over the doorway into the kitchen and when I run out of room I tape them on the chair rail all over the kitchen!

One year I had a basket made just for Christmas Cards but it wasn't much fun because you couldn't see them all.

I bought those long, wide, red, velvety ribbons/swags a few years ago. I tack them to the wall around an arch in our living room where we usually put the Christmas tree. Then, I staple the cards to the ribbon and let them drape down. The cards and staples come out easily after the season so I can re-use the ribbon next year.

One year when I was especially broke and had no ornaments for the sad, little Charlie Brown Christmas tree I had, I punched a hole in the corner of the cards and hung them on the tree as my ornaments.

Definitely some good ideas. I'd rather put them up on a wall or something that hangs than on that tree . . . I just don't know if I have enough room for ANOTHER tree, LOL!!! I appreciate the ideas though, folks!

We have a card tree, but I have also done the ribbon around the door-frame idea that Kuhio98 mentioned.

we have a bullinten (SP) bored and we keep the ones that come with picture all year long, and we keep just the card for a couple months.

The first time I got the cards from PT, I displayed them all on this:

Afterwards I put ALL the cards and the pics in a big photo-album, which is here wellknow as mommy's PT-album

Next year I bought red ribbon and attached it to the wall:

And last year too:

I think I will need some new red ribbons this time. I expect LOTS of cards !!!

I do the same thing with Maya & Inka's Mommy and add some tinsels to make them look more christmassy

wow you guys, I'm too fussy about decorating for Christams, and the haphazzard hanging of cards drives me nuts (though that is what I grew up with, and is perfectly lovely in other people's homes.... but for me, its too cluttered feeling)

I have tackboards that come out only at Christmas, and I pin each card to the board in a nice organized manner. My tackboard with pictures looks a lot like my Christmas cards (photo attached.) Yeah, I know, too much planning... but it does look pretty when done, and then I hang them like pictures when I've got full board. Each year I swear I'm gonna reupholster the tackboards in something Christmassy.... but never quite get there!
