[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in uk and France and this is one American thing that just baffles me.. people sending photos of their family as a Christmas card. Am I the only one who finds this weird? Like - why do you think i want to display a photo of YOUR family? It feels like people have wildly misjudged how much other people care about their stuff. If a French or British person did this I think everyone would find it so awkward. Enlighten me Americans - what am I missing here?[/quote]

I am also from a country where this is not the norm at Christmas/ holiday season. However, I love it. We eventually started doing the same. It is so much more personal than regular cards. Also I am not on social media so really Appreciate updated family photos. I love getting regular cards as well but cards with family photos are more personal.

I don’t think anyone in my home country finds it awkward to receive cards with family photos - they generally are very positive about it .

I don’t love all American traditions but this is a great one .[/quote]
