Holiday Cards Made Fun & Easy

My kids absolutely do not like the annual production of the family Christmas card but this year I finally found some Christmas card relief.

They would rather do anything else……like clean up their room everyday for a year, or give up video game privileges for the week instead. Forget about getting hubby in the shot, he is worse then the kids. I on the other hand, despite the push back from the family, look forward to coming up with that one shot that will represent the year of growth and change, and sent out with our warmest holiday wishes to family and friends.

Holiday Cards Made Fun & Easy Tips

So this year, I did a bit of planning ( to reduce the family pain) and used a vacation shot for one card, and created a fun photo booth with props for the kid card. I didn’t even tell the kids what I was doing, just that mom wanted to take some fun photos of them one afternoon. Guess what….it worked. They had no idea. No screaming, yelling or crying. It was fabulous.

So after the family photo was decided on, I needed the card selection and printing to be stress free. This year I am using Walmart for my card printing. Here’s what you should know about Walmart’s Holiday Cards.
