may seem like a dumb question..do any of you do it?

Is it okay to throw away old christmas/birthday cards?
I think everyone handles that in their own way. My sister is the type to just read a card and toss it. In her opinion, the message has been received, appreciated and that's that. I guess I'm the more sentimental type because I've always had trouble tossing out things like that. I have some cards that I received 35+ years ago. My wife is less into accumulating clutter so I don't keep as many cards as I would if I were single, which is likely a good thing. I believe you just have to have some limits. Some cards are particularly special to you either because of who they are from or what they are for. A simple birthday wish from an aunt is likely one you can afford to let go.

Reply:Could you imagine keeping every birthday or Christmas card you get. Would take up a lot of space. Throw them away.
Reply:you should keep some of them!!! But from only the peeps that you like enough!!
Reply:after the season is over I always get rid of them. I would hate to think of what would happen if I kept them, they would run me out of the house
