christmas cards - what do you do with them?

Inspired by tiptops query about something in the kleeneze catalogue earlier today, I've just sat down to have a look and they are selling card holders - all shapes and sizes - to stick Christmas cards in.
Are they tacky?
What do you all do with your cards?
Ours end up falling off where ever they've been put, and was considering one of the over the door thingys.
Just wondering before I put an order in (have never ordered from them before...)

One of those tree shaped things that the cards slot into!

I usually hang them from a length of ribbon that I tack up and loop from the ceiling or blutac them on our internal doors that are cheap B&Q wood ones

My mum got some great stuff last year. It's kind of like double sided sticky tape but it doesn't trash your walls. You stick a strip up and bung the cards on it. I thik she got it from Lakeland.

I use long lengths of brown garden twine which I pin to the underneath of the coving. You then just hang the cards over the twine and they sag slightly in the middle to give a garland look.

I bought them last year and they were c**p. They wouldn't take many without being top heavy and either falling off the wall or individual ones falling out of the holder. I was forever picking them up.
This year I will go bacl to good old cotton and hang them that way in a garland effect(similar to what Boomamma says). I also have internal doors with glass panels so was toying with the idea of bluetacking them into each panel.
