A Christmas Card 'Tail'


It's an old tradition for us as well as many American families to send out Christmas or Holiday cards, and whatever you want to call them. The point is that this annual card in many cases calls for a family photo to be taken either as the front of the card or as an insert. It's one of the things I love about the Season, receiving cards from friends and family across the country.






We are such a family. We try to send a photo every December come heck or high water. They haven't always been the 'perfect' photo but danged if we don't try, er... I mean... I TRY. Hubby is generally a bit reluctant to join in, but in the end he DOES give in to my begging request to participate.


 
A great deal of consideration goes into the photo each year as to which one in a 'series' of photos should be the the one to represent US.  Hubby has a little say so, but not much since I am the almighty photo taker, printer and general Christmas card putter-togetherer in the house.  


So, tell me..... I've been mulling over which one in this year's series should be the photo on the front of our card..... but something about this one says it just won't make the cut.  Can you tell me what the problem with this photo is?  Hmmmm.

That's nice :) We don't have a habit of sending photos in Slovenia. We just send a Christmas card. I guess it makes more sense in the US where family members live so far apart. :)
I usually make holidays cards myself so they look home made and lack perfection. Well that's the way I like them to be. :) I'll post some photos of my cards in the next few days too. :)

Happy holidays!

Di, It looks like you have a tail.

LOL, Crys

Linda said...

Nice tail Di!

Deanna said...

You almost got Hansome in that last picture.... lol

A little photo shopping and the last one is a good contender. They are all contenders then!

Sweet Virginia Breeze said...

That picture is so funny! You could photo shop the tail out and then it would be a definite contender.

Country Girl said...

That's funny with the tail.
All of these are really nice. Like the one above this last photo.

Have you been telling lies? You're growing a tail? Oh wait, I think lies make your nose grow. Hmmm, what have you been up to, Di?

Except for the tail, lol, that one in front of the house is beautiful!

You make a minor guest appearance in my newest story by the way.

Tammy said...

I was looking at your husband's "antlers" and didn't see the tail! LOL!

ROFL They always managed to sneak in the picture somehow. The photo is begging for a caption ;-) I really like the B&W photo.
Hugs,
