Hey there! Yes, tis the season friends. I am one of those super obnoxious people that already have my Christmas cards in the mail. My annual goal is to get them in the mailbox on the day before Thanksgiving. Yes, really. Then they arrive on the day after which is the official kick-off of Christmas. Next up is decor and marathon watching of Elf which is my most favorite Christmas movie. #buddytheelfismyfave
I have chosen to send holiday photo cards for years as I love giving people an update on what my little family looks like. Especially my boys that are growing up so quickly! I never age so people don’t need to see my face every year. Ha! I kid. I buy cards from different places depending on the deals I find, the card style I fall in love with, yadda yadda yadda.
First thing, work on getting that perfect family photo. How you get this pic is totally up to you! You can hire a professional photographer, enlist the help of a friend or take it yourself. Hello self-timer! This year, Morgan at Magnolia Rain Photography snapped a pic for us. She’s pretty awesome. I have found a few fab sites to share with you. Personally, I am drawn to very simple cards but the options are limitless. You can customize your card to fit your family and personality.

Do you send Christmas cards? If so, do you have a favorite place to get cards from? Do you include a photo or fun family newsletter? I hope your holiday season is off to a merry start. I am still living on pumpkin pie, fall is halfway put away and I am so excited to get Christmas up this weekend.
