I have a box full of cards in every occasion. My parents collect them and put together as a sort of remembrance. Every holiday theres so many cards are given to us. But this last holiday of christmas, the number of card given to us was very few. I do not know why? May because most the people are too busy and saving a little bit money for them to no longer buy cards.

Absolutely, I keep my Christmas cards. I have a box throughout the years. Every year, after Christmas, I take the cards and put them in there. I put the box away. Still, there are times where I feel like going through there and looking at them. To relieve the memories, both the good and the bad, whatever they may be. Hopefully more good than bad.

Christmas cards, birthday, anniversary....whatever. I keep them all. I'm not sure why because I never go back and look at them again. It's just something I can't seem to part with or throw away.

I do throw away Christmas cards as this house hasn't got much storage space so I get rid of them to avoid cluttering up the place, if I'm being honest. I put them in the recycling box so at least they're not going to a landfill site. I have kept a couple of cards from last year, however, as they are from two special people in my life. I received the first birthday card (ever) from my one and only nephew, who was 19 at the time so I've kept that and the other card is from my husband on our first wedding anniversary, also last year. The words in both cards are very special to me which is why I've kept them.
