The Dreaded Holiday Card

I don't mean to sound like the Grinch . . . but sometimes sending out a holiday card is just no fun for me. First, there is the issue of obtaining a decent photograph. Then I end up haphazardly updating this address list I keep from year to year. Then of course you have to print the labels or address the cards and actually get them stamped and into a mailbox. Ughhhh.

That said, I really do love getting holiday cards from my friends and family (especially those with cute pictures of the kiddos).

So if you are in the process of getting your holiday card together, here are some of my thought on how to incorporate your children's artwork into your family card (from my December craft column in Chicago Parent Magazine).
