[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve received about 10, all photo cards with absolutely no personalization or genuine greetings. I only send a very few fully handwritten, non-photo cards to people. [/quote]

To me a photo card is sufficiently personal.  I like getting pics of friends and kids.  Realtors and insurance agents don't send vacation pics.[/quote]

I love the Tik Toks and Instagram posts this year that prove just how impersonal they are; multiple people admitted to goofing and forgetting to change the name of the pre-written message from the generic last name to their family’s actual last name. That is how impersonal and careless the whole process is. Vacation photos are for social media. [/quote]

We don’t post any photos on social media so the only time you’ll see us is on a holiday card. [/quote]
We also do not post photos on social media. Holiday photo card is a great way to show how much DC has grown over the past year. But we will stop sending when DC goes off to college.[/quote]

Why?

I know lots of families that still send photo cards even though their kids have launched. Most gather for a summer vacation, party, or thanksgiving and snap the picture of the crew.

I have one in college and I’ve made clear that as long as I’m alive, we will gather and take a holiday card picture. We will add future spouses and kids to the mix accordingly. I went on to explain that I expect them to continue the tradition even when I’m gone…and think of me as they gather for the photo.

If you engage your family in the ritual and make it fun, it’s not a chore. Quite the opposite, actually. [/quote]
