Every year it seemed that my list got larger and larger with sending out cards though and then postage began to go up in price. The next thing I noticed people weren't sending out as many cards as they used too and that included me. But I do love Christmas cards. Matter of fact, I love CARDS period! Especially one that someone takes the time to write a personal note in. Happy New Year Sweet Vee.

I would imagine that lends itself to spontaneous reminders of how you are loved! Beautiful. Your home always seems so beautiful, while also warm and welcoming. I bought a black wrought iron decoration for our den wall years ago. One year at Christmas, I began to tuck the cards into the curls and nooks of it and liked it so much the tradition stuck. Always a little sad to take them out, as the wrought iron looks "naked" ...lol.Charm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-73529090730271395412016-12-22T13:52:42.932-05:002016-12-22T13:52:42.932-05:00Lovely to see your card from Denise.

We used to get 4 or 5 a day in past years, now it seems to be 1, maybe 2 at a time, some days none. I too love how you've displayed them around your house, mine are in a Christmas basket. I should be more creative!

I may have to borrow that wreath idea. I usually just tape the cards we receive to the wood shingles in our entryway, and sometimes I will have a few on the hutch. Then I have a ribbon board for the vintage cards. <br /><br />I do love sending and receiving cards. (But I am sure you knew that!)
