Do you recycle your old/used christmas cards? I always recycle mine and transform it into christmas postcards. What I would do is to tear the front of the used card (the one with the picture on it and where the backside is usually blank) and I would trim the edges, if needed. And I go on the backside and draw a divided line. On the right side, I would put the return and recipients' addresses and on the left side I would write a christmas greeting. Then put the postage stamp and pop it in the mail Viola! That's it!
Usually most of the christmas fronts that are transformed into postcards, you have to pay the regular first class letter mail rate (the rate does not fluctuate no matter how large or how heavy it is, it is a fixed rate) but you may get lucky and if the card is small enough, you may end up just paying the postcard rate. But at least this way you don't have to spend your time making new envelopes (and licking them) and you save more trees!
Anybody else use this idea?

Always. We have a box of Christmas Cards we use to decorate a few doors in the house. We also cut them down to make Gift Tags.

I cut off the pictures and donate them to schools. The children use them for Art projects during this season.
I also make picture books out of them and tie them together for my Grand kids over age 3. Then they look at the pictures and make up stories.

I just like sending them to other people with them being signed by people they don't know. It ensures I get a call for christmas! So I guess I do recycle!
