Christmas card displays and traditions…I’ve enjoyed reading people’s posts on how they decorate for Christmas. So many lovely traditions and crafts! One thing I haven’t seen much of this year, is how folks display the Christmas cards they’ve received.
My mom used to tape each one around a doorway, (then get exasperated when we would walk (or run) past and they would fall off the wall. 🙂
A friend has a large carved dough bowl, and she spreads the cards out in the bowl and places it on a hallway table.
Another friend hangs them clothesline style.
For years, we’ve hung our cards ornament-style on the back hallway tree. Here’s our card tree this year:
I really enjoy the family photos people send and actually save them and use them the next year while waiting for the new ones to arrive. I also save cards from family members, (so I still have cards from my grandmother, for example).
I hole punch a corner, insert a wired berry stem and hang them on the tree.
I used to decorate the hall tree with mushroom birds. Here’s last year’s tree…it was a much smaller tree and a green one. I almost like the slim profile a little better (which means next year the flocked tree might go in our bedroom).
The flocked tree was the result of a post holiday 75% off sale, so we went with woodland animals, silver accents and silver dollar plants (which look so pretty with the lights behind them).
Do you display YOUR Christmas cards?
I used to put mine all around the hall door. They would come loose and I would tape them back. Now I have television stand. I save some of them that are special for a few years. I love each one and I love to send them to catch up with my friends and family each year.
Hi, Susie! Thank you for visiting and for commenting! I love and keep the cards too! One of my favorite Christmas traditions!
