[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people display them? Huh, didn't know that. I'm American but didn't grow up with this tradition (Jewish - some Jews send cards now but when I was a kid no one did that, that was for Christmas). I get them, look at them, admire the kids for about 30 seconds, then toss in the trash. I don't mind getting them but I don't really care either way to be honest. For friends and family I'm close with, I already know what their kids are up to. For those I'm not close with, there's a significant overlap between frequent Facebook posters and card senders, so I've probably seen the kids on Facebook anyway.

I too trash the Christmas cards immediately nowadays.

Growing up, we got cards during christsmas from many of our friends and family and they got displayed on the mantle. Family also sent postcards to us from their fancy vacations and it was so fun to get them.  My parents would start sending their Christmas cards  before Thanksgiving, so that people would display them once they started decorating for Christmas, right after TG. Now, we get so few cards that we have stopped displaying them.

My mom would send multiple copies of family pictures to my grandparents. One for the album, one became an ornament to be hung on the christmas tree etc.[/quote]
