What to do with old cards

We have stacks of old Christmas cards from family, friends, dentists, doctors, and more. I feel really bad about throwing any of them away. After Christmas, my husband makes them magically go away so I don’t have to do the dirty work. We spend a lot of money on Christmas cards, which often seems like such a waste. But I just read a post over at Mama Cheaps that put a smile on my face. You can donate your old cards (of any type) to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. The children there will cut up the cards in ways to make new ones. They then sell them on their website. If you’d like to learn more about the program, please check out St. Jude’s Ranch.
