The magnolia leaf's glossy green front side and soft brown back make it a very pretty natural material to use in holiday decor. Some ideas that put the leaves to use:

How interesting... I have a HUGE magnolia tree in my backyard and I never realized I could use it for decor!

yes! i love the look of magnolia leaves in holiday decor. i grew up in kentucky where my mom decorated our fireplace mantle with branches of leaves every December. the great thing about these leaves is that they stay green and healthy looking for the duration of the holiday season. love the idea of using these leaves as place cards, too.
