Photo Christmas Cards Made Especially for Grandma
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. From Grandma’s mantle hung elaborate holiday cards from all across the land…Uncle Ted in New Mexico to the left, Aunt Jessie in Maine to the right, and whose is that in the center? It’s your photo Christmas card!
How did you get to take center stage in your Grandma’s Christmas card trophy case? Easy! You have mastered the art of digital photography. When people see the term digital photos they get scared, like it is some technical term for a PC. Don’t be scared; embrace the change!
Winning Grandma’s prized Christmas cards spot on her mantle was easy…all I had to do was take a picture of myself wearing a bright red Santa hat and affix it to the Christmas photo card that I sent her. Who can beat that? Now if you even have some technical savvy and can touch up photos on your computer…watch out Uncle Ted! His Christmas cards won’t stand a chance to your Christmas Photo Cards.
Christmas is a time for giving, a time for peace, and a time to impress your Grandma so much that she puts you at the top of her gift-buying list! I bet you didn’t think those digital photos you took could be cashed in for a new DVD player or better yet, that new pool table you wanted. Yeah, it was worth taking the time to put that red hat on and snap that digital photo. And I bet you can’t wait to do it next year…I know I can’t!

Good advice! Last year when we visited my mom for the holiday, I found our annual family photo card on a side table, instead of sharing prime mantelpiece space with other siblings & grandkids.. Not sure why that was, but this year I plan to make the big-time! I’m doing a multiple photo card, including a photo each of our son & daughter who are away at school, and one of my husband, me & doggie, decked out in NY Giants sweatshirts (quite a concession for us, being Jets fans) Mom loves her Giants!
