We will take down our tree on New Year’s Day and store away the decorations for another year. I will gather all the Christmas cards and stack them in my craft room to be added to the family scrapbook or used for other craft projects. The photo cards will be displayed in the scrapbook or frames.

What do you do with your Christmas cards? If you plan to throw them away, consider sending them to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. They accept all-occasion cards for their Recycled Card Program. To learn more about this program, click HERE.

As 2008 comes to an end, take a moment to savor your blessings and make a resolution to bless someone daily in 2009. Encourage someone with a smile, a phone call, or a note. A random act of kindness will go a long way.
