Christmas Card 2009

ChristmasCard2009

It’s that time of year again. Time to find a good backdrop for our family Christmas card photograph. So far, we haven’t had any luck finding a nice poinsettia tree. We were hoping to find something nice at the Grand Floridian resort, but we didn’t. Epcot Center actually had some nice decorations, but we were not dressed for the occasion.

This year, we took our family photo in front of the tree at Christ the King church. I set up the tripod near the entrance as the sun was dipping low enough to light the foyer. Meanwhile, families were streaming in for the dinner that was about to start. It was a little weird, but we did our best to ignore the looks and comments.

Getting the photos printed turned out to be a big adventure. I found a great deal at Walgreen’s, but it turned out to be a deal only if you used their cards with your photo. Well, I have my own custom design, so it wouldn’t work. We drove over to Wal-Mart instead. Wal-Mart was a little cheaper, but after pressing the Submit button, we learned that the photos are processed off-site and the due date was the afternoon that we were leaving for Virginia! Turns out they arrived a day early and all was well.
