"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas
in the air."

Good morning!
Undoubtedly
the holiday wishes will begin rolling in through the mailbox soon, if
they haven't done so already. Maximize the joy of cards by
incorporating them into your home decorating.
My
favorite two ways to enjoy holiday cards:
Hang an
evergreen garland to display cards: Paint clothespins in red and green
and attach cards to the garland as they arrive.
Create
your own Christmas book: I have created a Christmas book featuring the
holiday cards we receive. After enjoying the cards, I mount each
"front" card onto a page of cardstock or thick paper.
Sometimes
I collage several cards together. Below the cards, I write down who
sent it and include a Christmas quote. You could also use Christmas
cards as backgrounds in scrap booking your holiday memories. For quote
ideas, try these websites:
Your
Turn: Choose an "out-of-the-box" way to enjoy your cards
throughout the season.
Today's
Affirmation: I cherish and appreciate every gesture of
kindness I receive.
