I display them on my mantle, and then burn them at the end of the season. I burn them, because I love fire, and love making fires, and using them to help create something I enjoy and think is beautiful seems like a better way to honor them over recycling or sitting in a drawer forever.
It must be noted however, that if the card contains a material that does not burn into something I can compost (I compost the ashes), then I recycle it.
I like getting holiday cards, but have been so terrible about sending them out that I only got two this year that werent attached to holiday presents! I like displaying them, and then either keep (the pics of my friends kids get kept) or recycled in some way.
