The Handwritten Card Tradition
My mom has always preferred the handwritten Christmas card.
Its a laborious process.
I admire the time she spends tailoring every card and the message within to the recipient.
As you might have guessed, myholiday greetingstake on a more generic tone.
And I know Im not alone in that.
Even those who opt for the professional photos are not immune.
Will the kids cooperate?
Will this $300 family session be in vain?
Will my husband wear the coordinating shirt?
The potential pitfalls are endless.
Something which I found nonexistent last year.
Trust me, I looked.
Sadly, that might be true.
But does it eliminate some of that perfect-family-photo pressure?
Even if I am only on step 1.5 of this process.
Once I snapped it, I knew it was Christmas card material.
A stretch goal but, Mama, Im on my way.
