Its really important to keep these things.Future generations of your family will thank you.

Clearly, it's a sign that you should learn Swedish.

If you do want to get in contact with them, all you have to do is write a letter saying, "Hi, I'm a long-lost American relative and I wanted to get in touch with you," and I'm sure they'll be delighted to talk your ear off about your grandfather.

The first one, though perhaps a Christmas card, actually bears text saying "Happy New Year". You probably knew that already though.

All very cool.

I would keep it...maybe take over where your sister left off and start the official family archive.

What a previous person recommended on contacting family in Sweden sounds like a good plan. It would also give you a chance to study and learn Swdish...like you don't already know enough languages :)
