Christmas Card Parade anyone??
I sent ours out Saturday. I like to be one of the first to send Holiday cards. (I know I'm a bit of a freak that way)
 We took a family pic this year when we were in FLA. (OK, we took many family pics, and finally got one good one) Our dogs name only made the card this year, she did not go to FLA. Not totally left out though, her pic was on my return address label.

Love your card!!! It is beautiful!!!
Christmas is just the best! I just read about a tradition of placing the cards in a basket at the table (after Christmas) and before dinner pulling out a card and praying for that family that evening. I thought that was a neat way to continue the enjoyment of friends and family all year long! Ours is attached

Since we just sent out Vivian's announcements in Sept - I think we will wait until February - is that bad?

Oh my goodness!! Such beautiful cards!!
Last year we decided to send Valentine's Day cards...to avoid the Christmas craziness. And I think that is a tradition we will continue!
