I put them all in a Christmas album. And label them for the year. I even use some of the cards I get to decorate the pages.

I save the ones my husband and children give me. The others I sometimes use for scrapbooking or tags for next years presents. I also bring some into my preschool for projects.

I throw them away but I feel SO bad about doing it. If I was crafty, I would make something with them.

Maybe if someone on Gather wanted them???

They usually get stuffed into miscellaneous containers and forgotten until the next time I am sorting stuff for yet another move.

When I lived in PA, the local Children's Hospital took them for craft projects for the kids.

So I saved the ones with meaning for me & donated the rest. I actually have a few cards that I got as a child from my mother, put away in a box.

I'm thinking of getting them out to put them into a scarpbook.

I save them for awhile, but usually end up tossing them in the trash by summertime.

When the kids were small it was great to get an update pic but now that friends are empty-nesters, I 'm still getting them..I don't know what to do with them either. My husband wants to send them but each year I convince him what a dumb idea it is send pics of us.

I used to do the collage thing. Now I keep the ones that mean the most to me, like my grandparents who are getting older, and a couple from my friends that I have met over the internet.

You've got some great ideas posted here. I have thrown them out, but I hate to do that. I also donated them to places that use them for recycling. I may just use them in a crafty way as so many here have suggested.

I scrapbook them! It's really a lot of fun to look at the pictures each year and see how the kids have grown! The photo cards are definitly my favorite "cards" to receive! They've become so inexpensive also!

I never throw them out. I save them. Until now, I didn't do anything with them but I got a digital photo frame for Christmas so I thought I would collect all the Christmas Photo Cards throughout the years and scan them into a folder that I will put on the digital photo frame at Christmas time next year!

Ok, not crafty here. I love getting pictures of friends and family. It probably looks crummy, but I post the newest ones on the area of my bedframe nearest the lamp. No one else to see it but me and I like to look at them. The old ones I keep to look at. I have some kids in annual pictures from childhood to high school.

I have never gotten any..I got one this year from the people at MIL's house, I still don't know who they are...I kept it anyway...This was my first year to get a card since Momma Donna died in 2004, she was the only one that sent me a Christmas card...I'm definitely keeping them stored and will display them next year.
