South African
Christmas Tradition
In South Africa we tie a string, or tape it
well, to the ceiling on one side of the room and then in the next corner.
As Christmas cards arrive they are displayed on the string. We love to
hang our cards this way still, my children get so excited every time a new
Christmas card arrives and we have to take turns hanging them to save my
sanity. It serves a couple of purposes, friends and family become part of
our decorating and if you stand under the string you can re-read all those
messages.
