Christmas Day Photos



xmas-pic-treeNo matter the ages of those in the household celebrating Christmas this year, take the time to take photos. Don’t worry about posing everyone just perfect, instead, have photos of having FUN. It can be while opening gifts, cleaning up the wrapping on the floor, the playing with a special gift received, finishing preparing the Christmas meal and of course, everyone around the table for the dinner.

This year, if you haven’t already, start the custom of taking many digital photos and then sharing with friends and family members not present at the house Christmas Day. This way you have the photos and they are shared with other family branches.

If you do have a couple older Christmas time photos of your family, say when you were a child, how about recreating the image? If there is one of you opening a gift and you are sitting on the floor, recreate the moment with you opening a gift today on the floor.

Another idea is a photo of everyone in the household dressed in a Christmas outfit, say all with a Christmas tree design on the front or everyone wearing a red outfit. After Christmas, as you are taking down the tree take photos of the family’s favorite ornaments, especially those that have hung on the family tree for years.

Don’t miss the opportunity to create memories with
