Do you keep greeting cards people have sent you over the years?

I have gon through mine (which were also starting to accumulate) and only kept the ones that meant something very special to me.

Yeah I do…I don’t really know why though.

I have every card my wife ever gave me, but usually no. I actually hate cards. I think they are a waste of paper and money.

The only other card I have is the birthday card my nephew gave me. It was the first card he ever wrote to me himself. It has his little kid writing. Cute.

I don’t get many and I don’t give many, I’d rather take the time to write someone properly or better yet visit. With that said, I’m a pack rat, I’ve kept pretty much all of them. ^.^

Not a single one. I’ve finally convinced most of my friends and family not to send them to me because it’s such a waste.

Edit: If I had children, I’m certain I’d keep theirs.

Only the special ones from the wife & the kids.

I don’t keep any, except for some of the christmas cards which get recycled into next year’s gift tags.

what @ucme .said.

I used to keep every card until my Mother died. I cleaned out her things and came across a lifetime collection of greeting cards,which amounted to thousands of cards.
I changed my ways and now have but a few special cards saved.

I used to. But then I realized, “What for.” I’m just lugging around more stuff, and when I die, they’re going to get tossed out.

In distant times past I used to but these days the privilege of ending up in my filing cabinet is only afforded to those cards that rate 10/10, for one reason or another…

I did for many years. Several years ago I threw them all away. The sun has come up each day since.

Everyone who knows me, knows not to get me a card. Don’t spend 5$ to have a Hallmark employee say something to me that you can do for free. If I get a card. I acknowledge it & it’s in the trash before the candles are blown out.

Yes. A few of them were from relatives who have since died and it’s nice to know I have something of theirs with me still.

Yes. Someday they will sell them on eBay as a Vintage lot when I’m dead.

i don’t save every single Christmas card, but i do save special Christmas, birthday and other occasions. i have cards from when i was 10, and my mom has up in the attic, some cards she got when i was born. i have cards that people sent my grandparents, and they’re collector’s items, plus it’s nice to think that these cards meant something to my grandparents. i have a few boxes of cards that i have received over the years that i am saving. one day maybe they’ll mean something to my daughter. if not, no big deal, she can chuck them if she wants

I do… most of the cards I’ve received over my lifetime are in a filing cabinet. Including a couple sent by some of my favorite Jellies.

One exception to my ‘trash the card instantly’ rule. Those talking cards… I rip out the voice box, take the battery out to use for my Apple remote & then fiddle with the speaker until I get bored. Then it goes in the trash.
