Christmas Card Outtakes

My top three favorite Christmastime traditions of all time are:
- Making my grandma’s sugar cookies and decorating them
- Watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with my family
- Sending and receiving Christmas cards
I’m not sure anything brings me more joy than getting Christmas cards in the mail. It’s why I (almost) always send them out, and send them out EARLY so everyone has my address.
This year as I wrangled the family all together for a photo session (at home, with my dad as cameraman), I started to think about how fun and funny it would be if everyone sent cards with their Christmas card photo outtakes, instead of the final polished family photos.
Here are a few of mine that crack me up and make my heart happy. I’d LOVEEE to see yours, so be sure to drop them in the Facebook comments when I post this there. 😉
This year:
2019 (we didn’t make cards that year – instead we packed our entire house and moved, lol.)
2018: Another year I misguidedly attempted to wrangle our dogs.
