Make Placemats From Holiday Cards

Each Christmas we end up with a stack of beautiful photo Christmas cards of friends and family.  I never have the heart to throw them out, but I never really know what to do with them. Parent Hacks has a great post recommending that you (or your kids) make a collage out of the cards, cover it with contact paper, and voila — a place mat for your kids to use.  The post focuses on Valentine cards, but the same idea would work for Birthday or other holiday cards as well.
