I give all my cards to my nan as she uses them to make new cards for other people.

I don’t receive many now, or send many. I used to cut out the designs and use them to make/decorate cards or make tags with them.

I always keep my personal cards and usually just recycle the rest but last year I cut them up to make tags for presents this year.

Last year I didn’t even display them all, just a few chosen ones in the lounge.

I don't get that many cards and I don't send that many either. Last year we got two in the post and one from my parents. I really don't bother with Christmas cards much. I send 2 to my friends that always send them to us but that's it. I usually just recycle them.

I just take them to the supermarket to get recycled, but my friend makes gift tags out of hers.

I keep the really personally ones but then eventually throw them out unless the person has died. When I was a child we used to cut them into small pieces and make Christmas gift tags for the next year. We used pinking shears to get wiggly edges.

Honestly...put them in a drawer. I loath them. Just wasteful. My family & friends know not to send them, so in fairness we receive few now & becoming less each year thankfully. We do send one to great grandparents as they get upset otherwise.

Put them all into a recycling bin in the supermarkets for Christmas cards. I know Morrisons have a special bin for this.

There a local boy who is disabled and he uses them to make gift tags to raise money

If I can make nice tags out of them I do, but otherwise I just recycle. Having said that I tend not to send or receive cards much, would prefer to save trees and postage!
