Sending and receiving Christmas cards is one of my most favorite holiday traditions!  But what do you do with all those cards after Christmas?  So many people send photo cards these days that it just seems like such a shame to put them all in the recycling bin or to store them in some box you’ll never open again.  Here’s a few ideas to save them from that fate.
