I really dislike Xmas cards with tons of pictures

[Anonymous]

I love holiday cards (and birth announcements) that have one really nice photo of a family or kids. I hate the ones that have 2, 3 or more smaller photos (often so small you can barely make them out). Cards with multiple photos are not only aesthetically un-pleasing but sort of send the message that little Aiden and Sophie are just SOOOOO cute that we couldn't possibly narrow it down to one photo.
I am writing this here because I obviously can't say it to the faces of the friends who have sent these cards, but I really think people should know they are a bad idea.

Screw you. Our Xmas card this year had three simple black and white pictures and looked gorgeous. Grinch.

You sound petty. We were swamped this year and didn't manage to get one decent photo of all three of us together. So our card has one large photo and three smaller ones. It has nothing to do with us thinking Aidan/Sophie is soooooooooo cute. Maybe you're assuming the worst of people, eh?

Maybe you are getting old and need reading glasses?

Ha! Our card has 12 photos. While they are small, you can clearly make them all out, and we've received many compliments. And yes, I do think DD is adorable, and thought our friends and family would enjoy seeing her in all her different moods. Go find something else to be all grinch-y about!

Wow. You really are petty. How about a nice, "Thanks for the card! It's really wonderful for you to remember us during this warm holiday season!" ?

I have to say I really don't get posts like this. You hate some particular kind of card? Really? How on earth does it cause you problems?

Personally, I like anything that arrives in the mail that isn't spam or bills, and love seeing a wide range of different cards. I have my favorites in terms of what *I'd* do, but appreciate them all. It's nice to know folks are thinking about me / my family.

I will admit I can get annoyed by cards with confetti in them so that they make a mess once they're opened - though after year 1, I learn to open cards from those folks directly over the garbage can, and then just enjoy the card

Strange complaint. I like photo cards, whether they have one photo or more. We had 2 pics this year.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a clod.

sorry, just checked the lyrics...you're a heel...see below:

Author: Dr. Seuss

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.


You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.


I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.


You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.


Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.


You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.


The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."


You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.


Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.


You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.


You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

Ok, waaaaayyyy too much time on your hands. This is always the type of post that makes me go, "ok time to turn off the computer"! Bye now!

it is called copy and paste...2 seconds and I love that song.

Whatever the issue, someone on DCUM (a) hates it, and (b) thinks you're doing it in order to show off.

Guess what? I'm having a quadruple bypass! Well, I think people who have heart surgery are selfish and tasteless, and do it only to get their children into Beauvoir.

Actually, my daughter IS so cute that she deserves multiple pictures. Sorry if you and yours aren't, but not everyone can have looks AND brains. (It appears that we got your quotient of both.) Merry Christmas!

We had one photo this year, but I like to see other people's works of art, so that they can inspire me for next year!
