Sweetie was wondering about who we should send our Christmas cards to this year, and asked about a couple of relatives and friends -- did I think they should get one of the cards?
My hunch is that she was trying to pare down the list both because the photo on the Christmas card is... "creative" is a word that springs to mind, and "interesting" is another, but neither of those words actually describes the card. "Chaotic" is a word that DOES describe the photo on the card. "Expensive" is another. Really, given the amount of money and time and hassle we put into these cards, we should have gotten better results.
And then I find out today about the Photo Christmas Cards at ChristmasCardsDirect.com, a site that lets you order one of two different kinds of cards. You can upload a photo and order your cards with the photo right on them (framed by a holiday theme or on the whole page) or you can order the cards with 4x6 photo holders in them, and then send different photos to various groups of people.
That latter one -- the photo holder card -- is the one that I think we could use. Then, people who don't know the family well could get one of those "typical" Christmas photos -- everyone in a nice sweater looking at the camera, smiling, cleaned-up, and cheery. People who DO know us, people who would never believe that's really OUR family in the 'typical' photo, would get the real one: Me looking down at something on the floor, Middle and The Boy arguing, Mr F escaping and Mr Bunches covered in macaroni, while Oldest is running late.
And Sweetie would have her usual grim smile of determination.
However you look on Christmas, show it with one of the two photo cards from ChristmasCardsDirect.com.
