Christmas cards
I don’t know about you, but I keep almost all of the Christmas cards that I get every year. I like to re-purpose them for use as name tags, or using them as craft supplies. I find that I like the personalized christmas cards the best for these types of uses; they tend to be a higher quality of paper than the ones that you can buy at the local discount store for just a couple of dollars for a whole bunch of them.
When sending out cards I like to start on them early so that they are out in the mail around Thanksgiving time. If I get them all out by then I can relax and enjoy the Holiday season without the pressure of getting the cards mailed out. It also helps to put me in the Holiday spirit, getting them purchased and ready to mail early!
