Even though "it...Personal messages are a MUST. Even though "it's the thought that counts," the thought seems to mean something different to me when the entire Christmas card operation was automated: pre-printed greeting, computerized signature, printed address labels. . . . A monkey could put it all together in the right order and get it to the post office (OK, a very cool monkey).<br /><br />When I see a friend's handwriting, I feel both a physical and a spiritual connection. <br /><br />That's REALLY hard to prioritize, though, I know. I've compromised by sending out Christmas cards only every other year.

But I am struggling with the photo card. We've done one every year too and I've saved them, but...I feel like it's sending a "hey look at us" rather than "hey look at Jesus" card. I am thinking of it's not too expensive of doing a photo card type thing inside a real Christmas card. Because it's about Jesus, not us. Does that make sense? I really struggled with this last year! But I love the photo card! Oh and I saw this awesome idea on a blog for making your cards into hanging ornaments to hang on your mantle or staircase which I thought was awesome, but I also like the photo album idea. My MIL has an album with one page of pics from that year's Christmas gathering and their Christmas card/letter. FOrty years of them! Pretty cool...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365421565603011159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329968682254816316.post-7055655821400648852012-11-14T10:00:03.226-06:002012-11-14T10:00:03.226-06:00nope I agree, whole family in the pics (at least a...nope I agree, whole family in the pics (at least a couple of them should have you guys too!)Dylan's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713138321978353880noreply@blogger.com
