They're so pretty. The grandones and I play with them all year long. We cut out santas and snowmen from them and make other pictures. It's great.

Cards mean a lot to me---I keep them, seriously I have about 18 years of cards here in my house....one day I'll have just a room full of cards. I think I should get rid of some maybe huh?

If I think they're unusually pretty I put them out the next year too. I have a few baskets around that I sit by the fireplace that I put the cards in. Everyone that comes over always looks at the cards. I sit a few new ones around the house. Notice this year. Everyone who comes to your house will look at your cards.

I'm going to sign mine Priscilla Pressley. My husband sent me a fax to work one time and signed it Eric Clapton. I told everyone I know him. Some people still believe it. It caused quite a stir.

I put the special ones out too. my hubby thinks I am nuts but oh well- if that's nuts then I will be glad to be nuts... Nana

I love looking at them. And your right visitors love to look at them too. The year before last explaining the purple glove was a bit of an adventure since it was a church elder who asked about it but it was still fun. That's also why I put out the thankyou cards and other things that I receive during the year. They are great conversation starters.

I always think of it as a holiday season no matter where a person is coming from so I send a card. I've never had anyone tell me to my face that they've been offended. I have an antheist friend who knows that we believe differently and he always has Christmas cards taped to a door frame. He says they're pretty and he loves the decorations.

Even though my beliefs may not be the same as yours, I still appreciate whatever sentiment is in (or on) the card because it meant something to you when you picked those cards.
