Our Chirstmas Cards: Photo-Sheet Edition


Madison, Wisconsin, December 2003. We introduced the "photo summary" to our Christmas mailings in 2003. That year, we sent out the summary only, and we did not prepare separate photo cards. Since then, we've mailed both cards and photo sheets.

The 2003 sheet featured our acquisition of Baci and Žulė's passing (the two events may not have been unrelated: Baci's exuberance likely overwhelmed Žulė). The sheet also highlighted some knitting: Mr. Irene models a sweater I knitted for my boss, and Mom wears one I did for the wife of a former colleague.

Very cool idea (love the bottom one).

You eliminate the dreaded Christmas letter by taking the John Ford approach (the pictures tell the story, the words help it make more sense).

Thanks; that's what we had (and have) in mind.
