Hanging the Christmas Cards Up With Care...

I'm a little late to the Christmas party - my apologies. We've had family emergencies and what-have-you that have kept me from the internet.

Being married and all, we now seem to get lots of family Christmas cards from our peers; not all of them are cool and worthy of display (the Frog Queen, fyi, sends marvelous seasonal cards!), but it would be rather rude of me to put out some and not all.

Since the cards aren't that exciting, I'm experimenting with new display options for next year. I have decided to hang them by nooses from the mantel. Here's a test-run:

I needed a few more wraps around the cord to make the neck of the knot look really good, but a little twine and a few minutes on the internet and you too could have a row of little hanging Christmas cards for next year. They'd probably look horridly pretty hanging in a group from the ceiling, too.



This should really go without saying, but be careful with knots. Especially hangman's knots -- they are not to be worn around the neck.
