^^ THE WINNER. You are so right! And idiots frame them. And I've seen them at open houses - framed on the wall! Don't they know that a gazillion people get those and that they mean absolutley nothing?

Wow.

This is a thing? People actually pose on the bed partially clothed? Seriously?

Couldn't you have written this on one of the active holiday card threads? Why dig up one a year old?

I love photos as much as the next person, but I take them for the *family* not for the masses.

I am curious...what goes on your Christmas card?

I often keep cards, especially photo cards of family or close friends.

I like any card I receive. For someone to take the time out to mail a card (except companies - those go in the trash) is nice and thoughtful.

We don't celebrate Christmas, but I do give out cards that say 'Happy Holidays' to friends that do. I don't care if I receive cards that say Merry Christmas, etc.

And to weigh in on the original debate - I love holiday cards, all of them. Handwritten note or no. Expensive card stock or cheapies. Whatever. I'm glad you thought of me and my family and it warms my heart to think of you when I receive your card.

Same here. I love all kinds of holiday cards. Even a flat photo card takes time to send and I enjoy seeing photos of my friends and/or their kids. Not all my friends plaster their kids photos all over the place on FB so it's nice to see how much the kids have grown over the year. Plus I don't think one or two lines of generic written notes and signatures add much value to the card.

We get one of those brag sheets from our old neighbors, a family with 3 kids. The parents always brag about 2 of the kids, but not about the 3rd kid, who happens to be a really nice, productive person, but a bit of a sad sack. Every year, we make sure we send a special email to the 3rd kid, asking her what she's up to and telling her about our own lives (without mentioning her family's brag sheet). Hate that mailing.
