Holiday Card Displays

Snail mail makes me happy. Especially around the holidays when we are getting all sorts of fun cards in the mail. Don’t get me wrong, I love the convenience of electronic mail, invitations etc but there is just something so fun about actually receiving and opening an old fashion letter. Its totally a dieing art but one that I support with all my heart.

Since someone obviously took the time to create and send their holiday wishes I am always looking for new ways to display and use the cards we receive. This year we did a photo montage on our kitchen cabinets which was super easy and has provided hours of fun for little B to entertain himself with. All you need is a roll (or two) of your favorite holiday ribbon, scissors and tape and you are in business.

If we had a larger house I would totally do a Christmas tree decorated with just lights and holiday cards next year. How fun would that be!

Taking it a step further, save your holiday cards and and turned them into a “who loves baby” or “babies first friends” photo album. Pick up a cheap dollar store photo album and place each photo card in a slot with the names of your little ones friends and family under the pictures. You may have to trim the cards to fit them but it makes an adorable reminder to keep around for the whole year. Little B has several books like this that he adores looking through on a daily basis.
