When the first Christmas card arrives in my mailbox it signals the beginning of the holiday season (and generates guilt because I never seem to get around to sending out any of my own...next year, for sure...maybe).
But, what to do with these lovely cards when the season is over? Don't you feel terrible about tossing them into the recycle bin? I do. So instead, I reuse them.
Cut off the message portion and toss that bit. It sounds Grinchy, but the sentiments are forever preserved in your heart. *bats eyelashes sweetly*
Then hole punch the remaining half—the holiday picture with the blank underbelly (where you can write YOUR message). Stow the cards away to be repurposed as gift cards next year.
