It’s Because I’m Green, Isn’t It?
If I had a dollar for each time someone has called me cuddly-as-a-cactus since my previous post I’d have a million dollars. Okay, that’s a total lie – I wouldn’t have any dollars (which is not so different from the amount of dollars my bank account has, so I’m in good company), but I did feel very judged after admitting my aversion to Frosty the Snowman.
So, in attempt to reconcile with my audience the four of you who read this and with my family (Christmas is here, there are gifts that will require my acceptance) I will explain myself further.
children crazy dogs. We have been a “family” for almost 3 years now and despite having an absurd amount of pictures of our dogs, we have no pictures of all 5 of us. So, I decided Christmas cards would be a divine excuse to obtain such a picture. I mean, if we’re going to force our friends and family to look at pictures of us and our hairy children, they might as well be good pictures, right?your my generation!? Snail mail is dead and part of my heart has died with it. You kids and your new-fangled mePhones and weemail….pick up an ink pen dagnabit) “Thanks, Merry Christmas. I’ll text you.”

I’m a Medical Student (that means I'm in school to become a doctor). My life story can be viewed here. I started this blog in hopes of landing a role in a Lifetime movie so I could quit school and move to Hollywood, so if you wouldn't take medical advice from Angelina Jolie, you shouldn't take it from me. I may not even be a real person. In fact I'm probably a spambot. Or a 15 yo boy blogging from a dingy basement. If you're really interested you can read more about me here.

I love Christmas Cards! After we get married we will definitely be sending out family photos. Your pictures came out great!! Happy Holidays!
I love cards and letters! In lieu of a physical card though, I also accept a well put together PDF with lots of pictures and updates. =D Your picture turned out beautiful, by the way! Good looking family all around.
Awww your card looks great! I admit I am one of the mass texters. I don't know how you have the time to get professional photos done, and then mail them all! You're a saint. Merry Christmas Danielle!
Love the Xmas card – too cute. BTW – thanks for the blog printing site … I checked it out and it's AWESOME!
Love the Christmas card! We didn't do Christmas cards this year. It's the first year, since we've been married (2006) that we haven't, but I spent the latter part of the year mailing thank you notes (168) for baby shower gifts, and will start 2011 off by sending birth announcements. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure I'm too big to fit on any Christmas card at this point.
BUT… the nosey cashier would've had a blast with me. My Christmas card list has (at least) 175 on it. Postage is a B! After skipping a year, my goal for Christmas 2011 is to minimize that list.
You need an actual card,That you keep in a box for when you is ill.To comfort you.
Hey girlie!
Not only do I LOVE, Christmas cards, I handmake each and everyone of them, PLUS draw Christmas-y scenes on all my envelopes! (somewhere deep inside me, I'm hoping someone loves my art enough not to throw it away! hee hee hee) I am already starting on making cards for next Christmas, as I send out a bajillion of them!
Oh and your card is adorable!
Hugs
Missy
I even drew the stamps on mine!
I think you need to add a great dane to your children
