Christmas cards are a big deal around here. Each year I struggle with the picture selection, the theme and tone, the caption…my God, it gives me a nervous breakdown. Every year though I manage to pull it off and get calls from friend and relatives telling me they loved my card.
Witness the history here:
2003: Merry Kissmas
2004: Missing in action, though I distinctly remember it being cute…
2005: Be Good! You Never Know Who’s Watching!
2006 New Years Card (Because I totally missed the boat on Christmas…)
Tiny Bubbles
2007: Joy to the World
2008: Naughty or Nice? You Decide!
This year was a real struggle. I’ve been slammed at work with no time to think about Christmas and to be honest, work has not been all that much fun…which is to say, I found myself with sort of a Scrooge mentality facing the daunting task of holiday cards this year. Until I remembered this picture which summed up the entire year for both me and the kids.
Presenting the 2009 Stiletto Family Christmas Card….
Heck yeah! I thought for sure I had pulled it off again…the most awesome Christmas card expressing not only my feelings for the upcoming holiday but also providing a laugh and a look back at the type of year it had been. Perfection, I tell you….perfection.
Until I got this:
Those two beautiful little girls are my nieces. And the one in the middle? Is Taylor Swift. One more time, Taylor Swift. I can’t compete with that! It was bad enough when my other beautiful little niece got to meet The Jonas Brothers…
Trust me when I tell you I never heard the end of it from my two little angles when they saw this picture. Between the Taylor Swift Christmas Card and the Jo Bros meet and greet, it would appear I need to step up my efforts next year in the tween stalking department. Or, I just need to keep my kids away from pictures of their cousins who are obviously having a better time than they are….it’s a toss up to be honest.
I’m going to take the rest of the week off to focus on pulling the holiday together, lots of cooking, wrapping and possibly explaining left to do when my kids see that card.
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas filled with great food, family, laughter and love!
xo!
