I keep them forever. :)

How long do you keep birthday and Christmas cards for?
I keep them for a lifetime. I use the same xmas cards year after year for decorations. I keep them so every so often when I read what people wrote I can remember them or the time they gave them to me. Im a packrat that way but a neat one at least. Just because you keep stuff doesn't mean you get overwhelmed if you know how to store stuff.
Reply:bday cards get tossed in a couple of days, Christmas cards stay on the mantle until like new years then go in the recycling when the decorations get boxed up for the year.
Reply:Birthday cards...about one week


Christmas Card...about two weeks





Unless they are really meaningful, then I'll keep them indefinitely
Reply:Unless especially nice, my Christmas cards go out around New Year's.

Reply:I'm actually sentimental, so cards from close friends and family I keep and store in a box. Recently, I've finally gotten rid of cards from past girlfriends, since I'll be getting married in 3 months. I know she (my fiance) wouldn't want those things hanging around somewhere in our first home.

Reply:Not more than a week. If the pic is cute I'll hang on to it, but I've got grandchildren, and we use them for craft projects.
Reply:From family or close friends- one week


From anyone else- one day
Reply:I have a box in which I keep all the letters and cards my boyfriend has sent me. I also keep Christmas cards till the next year so I don't miss anyone to whom I should return the favor. Other than that, I don't keep any, unless they are really and truly remarkable - then I keep them for fun.
Reply:I'm not sentimental AT ALL so I tell my family %26amp; friends NOT to spend $3 on a card in the first place and call me instead. The ones I do get, I throw out after reading them.
