| Future Christmas photo shoot idea perhaps (image) |
E-cards don't count. Sorry, they don't. I will, however, award half a mark if you send a card you created using your family photos and a fancy computer program.
Every year, in the lead up to Christmas I tell myself that this is going to be the year that I finally say goodbye to sending Christmas cards. However, by mid December I usually relent and spend an evening up late getting writer's cramp writing out the damn things.
This year I stepped it up a notch and printed out an awesome photo of the kids (I had an impromptu Christmas card photo shoot in the front garden a few weeks ago. Come on, doesn't everyone do that?) and stuck it in one of those frame like cards you see around the traps. It looks fab, if I do say so myself. Of course I may be biased as I think I have the world's most gorgeous children, but take my word for it, it looks GREAT.
However, I seem to be getting fewer and fewer cards every year. This year the number of cards we've received is at an all time low.
I would love to know where everyone stands on the Christmas card issue. Yes, hitting the hard issues this week folks!
I must admit, most of my card writing in the last few years has been more reactionary than heartfelt. I approached the letterbox with dread because it meant I would have to write and send one back.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to be organised this year and have written a few but I can pretty much get away with a ten pack of cards. I'm not prolific.
Interesting that you feel obligated to send one back. I don't myself but then again I sent out almost 30 this year so I think I covered all bases.
ReplyDeleteI do leave off people who have slighted me during the year though, even if they send me one. I am sure they are SO upset to miss out on my card!
Haha. 'Damn you, you are off my Christmas list!'
ReplyDeletePretty much. Passive aggressive perfection. x
ReplyDeleteLate entry here: but I do send out cards. I love doing it. We seemed to get a lot of cards this year. Maybe they felt guilted cause I always send out cards??
