Photo Christmas Cards Say it all with Family Photos
Wow! Without even trying, this year I’ve got one of the most excellent family photos for my photo Christmas cards! It started with a Grandparent’s Day gift: tickets for the whole family to go together to the circus – grandparents, parents and children. Getting there included the usual merry-go-round of logistics planning, and teasing about one another’s directional foibles and timing mishaps. We arrived in a little swarm of laughter, with every one of us feeling like a young child on holiday. We started enthusiastically taking pictures of each other: sitting in a row, biting into big puffs of pink cotton candy, digging fists into the popcorn cartons.
Best of all, while we were taking pictures one of my enterprising children enticed a clown to pose with our entire group, while snagging a passerby to take digital photos. The resulting family photos are a treasure of frozen merriment! As soon as I saw the digital photos, I knew we just had to send that particular photo far and near as this year’s photo Christmas cards. I’m often writing notes in my holiday cards, to distant relatives and old friends, to update them on the growth and well-being of my children and grandchildren. This year, I’ll let my family photo Christmas cards say it all for me!
