We never sent Christmas cards when I was a kid...or if we did, I knew nothing about it. Money was almost always tight and I'm fairly certain that every bit that we had was used to make Christmas as special as possible for us kids. We did receive some Christmas cards though.
In my post on Holiday Foods I had a picture of our (fake) fireplace with cards taped to the mantle. I remember hanging cards near the entryway that lead to our living room. We'd wrap tinsel around the square pillars on either side and tape the cards along the tinsel.
Do I send Christmas cards? I mean to every year. I've got a ton of cards packed away with the Christmas decorations from previous years. Each year I've wanted to send them out and never got around to it. I love receiving them from friends and family and always want to do the same, but I'm so bad at it. It's not happening again this year...most likely. We can hope for a Christmas miracle! :)
Your last few lines made me laugh!! I'm pretty much the same way :-) I've used Christmas cards that I bought and never sent as decorations before!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh...I like that one. I just seem to keep storing them. One of these days people will stop sending them to me altogether! :)
