I mentioned before that I am bad about sending Christmas cards. I only send Christmas/holiday cards (not everyone I know celebrates Christmas in December) if Husband and I become organized and have a family photo taken with Blitzkrieg during the Capital Area Humane Society Santa Photo fundraiser. Because if I have to get a card with your kid’s face on it and bragging about how many text messages they sent last year (that really happened) then you are equally entitled to a photo of my kid minus the bragging letter of how many times my kid watered the fire hydrant at the dog park this year.
CAHS doesn’t make cards, so I have to have the photo made into a card somewhere else, like Hallmark. Yep, Hallmark has photo Hanukkah cards, New Year’s cards, Christmas cards, and holiday postcards. You can personalize the photos as well as the captions – nice!
I'd totally do this card with Blitzkrieg's head in one of the faces!
Hallmark even sells photo Thank you cards, which actually work better for me. While I’m lousy at sending Christmas cards, I’m very good about sending thank you notes because as soon as I learned to write, my mom had me write thank you notes to relatives who gave me a gifts that I could not thank in person. It's a habit I continue to this day.
Hallmark will even mail and address your cards for you, for a fee of course, but most years that the only way I can get my cards out one time.
If you’re in the same boat, you can get 30% off of your holiday cards on Hallmark.com if you use the coupon code BLOGHER30. The offer expires December 31, 2010.
Hallmark isn’t paying me to give you this info but they did send me the funniest Christmas card as an example of their work. Hallmak had a booth at Blogher last summer. They had a prop box full of costumey things and they asked if they could take my photo. Me + silly hats + posing for a photo = you know as well as I do that Hallmark was just asking for trouble.
I’m posing as Santa’s reserve reindeer – Mental.
You know, the mischievous one who’s solemnly swears she’s up to no good? Yep that’s me!

Somehow I think Mental Red Headed Reindeer is going to be part of our holiday celebration this year.
