No Bah Humbug! for me this year, especially because ...

... I'm hoping to help with the Christmas 2010 Budget just a bit by getting some Shutterfly Christmas cards for free :-)  We send out about 150 cards each year, and so this year when I noticed I could possibly get 50 for free I was feeling pretty good.  The design I've pinpointed (I think) for this year's card is the "Family Memories Christmas Card".  Why, you ask?  Well, because I love to include as many photos as I can on our cards, and this one allows me to include 12 photos!   In the past I've done newsletter style cards with pictures, but I'm not always satisfied with how it comes out - I'm kind of picky that way.  And, I also started noticing which cards I'm more likely to keep, and truthfully, I like the cards with pictures that come with a nice informative 'what's been going on in our family' type of letter.  Since quite a few of the people we exchange Christmas cards with are not ones we keep in touch with, it's great to hear all the things their families have been doing during the year.  And, I've also discovered when I write my annual Christmas letter it gives me a chance to focus on the positives of our family member's lives during the past year, which I feel is a great way to end the year and start the new one!
