My nana has kept all the cards that she and papa have gotten since they've been married (they're in their 80s).

SO a few years on Halloween someone hauls out what must be like a giant planter type vase thing FILLED to overflowing with cards. Each one of us got to take a guess at how many cards there were. There was a winner in each age category (kids birth - 12, 13 - 21, and 21 and up) and each winner got a special Christmas present from Nana.

Then we all sat around that Christmas reading all the old cards they'd received. It was actually a lot of fun and I think it was kind of special for all of us (though Leigh is right - I don't know WHAT we're going to do with them once they belong to us!)

I realize this isn't exacly an immediate plan for what to do, but should you end up keeping them forever it can always be something interesting later....
