How long do you keep birthday, Christmas cards for?

i use them as fire starters in my wood stove after Little Christmas

I used to cut them up and use then as gift tags. But I don’t get cards any more except from 1 person, my cousin Lance. He has cards made that show a snap shot of his year in pictures.
Those I’ll keep forever.

Most cards get trashed.
The ones I am genuinely touched by are saved. Those are usually from family.

I usually put them on our tree then toss them after Christmas. I have enough art work and things from my kids and grand kids from years gone by, only have so much room in my scrapbook. But I am a sentimental schmuck.

One month max – then into the shredder.

Because it’s in the Bible.

Somewhere.

I keep my Christmas cards for one year to remind me who to send mine to the following year. I keep my birthday cards for about a month.
