I am one of those people who sends out a Christmas Card every year. It is just something that I do. I love the whole creative and production processes. I love labeling and stamping the envelopes. I love all of it. :) Needless to say, I get started on this process early.
The problem is, my favorite card came two years ago when I dressed up like Santa and got all tied up in Christmas lights. In my mind, everything has to be better than that now. That isn't easy.
As I think through this, I have been thinking about cards that I get. I don't want to copy those, so that is an important question to ask. Here is just an observation that I have made since watching friends get engaged, married, get a dog, have a baby and watch their kids grow.
This is generally the order in which those Christmas cards come.
Year One: Engagement Photo with the tag-line "Soon-To-Be"
Year Two: Wedding Picture
Year Three: Picture of the happy Newly-Weds with their dog
Year Four: Picture of Mr and Mrs and their new baby
Year Five: Family Picture, mom is probably pregnant with number 2
Am I the only one to have experienced this?
