OH yes, I do Christmas cards! Each year, we research a funny idea, arrange it, print it and get it mailed out the first week in December. I've got to hurry and get ours going though. We do picture cards.

I love Christmas cards, we've done photo ones the last few years with whatever milestone happened that year. This year we'll probably do a few Italy photos and one of DC
I have been late (right before Christmas) the last few years. Hopefully this year they will go out earlier.
I usually sent out cards. I didn't always include a picture. Last year I didn't do any because we were so busy I just didn't get around to it. Not sure if I will this year or not.
Yes, I always send cards. In the past we've just done generic cards, but since we had family pictures done over the weekend, I plan to send a picture card this year.

SO cute!! What have you done in the past? I love this!
We do photo cards of DD. This year we have some nice family pics that I will put on the back
spankswife Last year, we dressed up the dog in a reindeer outfit. She's half-dachsund so we joke that she looks like a baby deer...we got reeeeeally close up to her face so he nose and eyes appeared huge. The looks she had CLEARLY showed she did not want to be in that outfit. Till this day, DH's family still talks about that card.
This year, We're deciding between making the cats "elves" or putting a sign on the dog that says, "Naughty Doggy" and surround her with wrapping paper scraps and boxes.
I've seen some hilarious ones you could do with DD. There was one I saw where the dog was covered in Christmas lights and the child had one end of the lights...making it look like she wrapped up the dog in them. Pinterest has TONS of hilarious family options.
I would love to do photo cards. I have lots of ideas, but we probably won't send any. We are really trying to be conservative for Christmas this year! I do love receiving them though!
We usually just do generic boxed cards but this year I think we might do pictures. I figure we will do pictures in the future, why not start now? I usually try to send them around early or mid Dec. I'm a procrastinator so hopefully we'll get pictures done soon to use!
I will be in a card exchange, I just need a few addresses.
I was going to ask you HoneySpider if the TTH one is correct because that's where I was going to mail yours too. I will PM people my address if needed.
Do you still hand out Christmas cards? We haven't in a few years but wanted to this year.
Do you do an actual card or do you do picture cards? I am doing cards and I will just print off a pic of DH, the pup and I. (I would include the cat but she won't get that close to the pup without freaking out, lol)
When do you send them out? I would like to get all the ones that need to be mailed out by Dec 5th, and the people closer will get them around that same weekend this year as we have so much going on this December.

I just got a new TTH PO Box the other day so I can give that to you...or I can just give you my home address. Either way
I send cards. Twice I've done photo cards with the dog (once was the year we took her to see Santa, lol). The last several years I've just done regular cards. I tend to buy a bunch after Christmas when they are 75-90% off, so I have a bunch to use this year. Maybe next year once baby is here, I'll do photo cards again.
Maybe have everyone send one person their address and we can pm it to the regs that want to participate. Or we can just do it individually if people wish.
I will volunteer to head this if we want to do it as a big group, unless anyone objects or has any other ideas.
My extended family is around the world, so I send cards every year. Sometimes, it's the only "chat" I have with aunts and uncles who aren't on FB, etc. I buy boxed cards that support a charity, usually, and ALWAYS include a personalized note. I may send photo cards this year but I'll be sure to write something on the back!

That sounds perfect, so long as only vetted regs get the address list/names. Or you could set up a group message chain and people can just respond with their address that way.
I like the group message. If you want to participate pm me and I will start the group message Thursday Am. Does that sound good? jjwritergirl, HoneySpider, estrellita, travelbug, @emtmissy, I have you all on the list so far so no need to pm me.
