Every Christmas we get SO many wonderful Christmas cards updating us on the happenings throughout the year of all our friends and family. There is usually a beautiful picture attached which I hate to throw out, but never knew what to do with before. I hate to throw them in a drawer or a box and just let them gather dust...but lets be honest if I am going to put them in a box chances are I will not look at them again and they will just take up space. So I make a collage of all the pictures I receive and put them in a picture frame to hang in our living room. I really cannot take credit for this creative idea...my mom does it with all her Christmas card pictures (She hangs hers in the kitchen)! I love this idea for so many reasons...1. it gives me a chance to look at all of our beautiful friends and family everyday and 2. we pray for the people in our frame!
If I received a picture from you this year...it is displayed in our living room for all to see! And most people that come into this house look at the pictures for a couple of minutes!
What are some things you do with all your Christmas card pictures?

You are so cute. I actually put them in a wall in my cube at work; I mean I am sitting there for around 8 hours a day monday through friday, so its a nice reminder of my family and friends too
Great idea! And I saw our picture on there :) When we get the pictures in the mail, we tape them to the big window in our kitchen and leave them up for a month or so. But then I usually throw them away, except really special ones. I would keep them...but, like you said, they just kinda take up space. I would like to try this next year!
Must be a family thing, I do the same thing and so does Holly. I think your mom started it, or maybe Holly did? Don't know, either way it is cool. We pray for the people on our collage also. Thanks for posting this Kari.
I love this idea...i think I'm going to try it!! Right now we just have as many as we can fit on our fridge, but it gets a little chaotic!!
Perfect idea Keri! Wow, mine have sat in a sad basket just begging for something to be done to them! Thank you!
