Perhaps you send a family photo card every year for Christmas, and need a new take on your tradition. Or maybe you are posting a photo card for the first time, and want to send something that reflects the fun approach that you and yours have to life. Either way, one of these half-dozen creative ideas for Christmas card poses will work for you.
Family Ties
Stand in a circle and wrap yourselves in a strand of Christmas tree lights (The person setting the timer on the camera can wrap his or her arm with lights only. Recruit a family friend if you would like to all be completely bound together.). Stick bows for gift packages onto each family members head, and hold tinsel or torn pieces of wrapping paper in your teeth.
The Gift of Yourself
Wrap a furniture box to look like a present. Leave the box upright and snap a picture of the kids popping out of the top of it. If you can get a hold of enough packing peanuts, turn the box on its side and take a picture of the children and the packing material spilling out onto the floor.
Snow Angels
Bundle your family up and go lie in the snow and make snow angels. The picture on your card can be of the snow angels themselves, or of everyone making the snow angels. For a more humorous take on the snow angel theme, every can dress in Bermuda shorts and other summer attire and make snow angels. Write Think Warm or Wishing You Warm Holiday greetings on your Christmas cards or postcards. Be sure to have plenty of blankets and hot cocoa to get your familys blood flowing again after posing for this picture.
When life gives you lemons
make lemonade and write Happy Holidays in the snow. Not everyone will appreciate a Christmas card with an image that looks like someone wrote their Christmas greeting in the snow after too much cider. But a good-humored bachelor or someone with a tinkle-happy puppy included in the photo, of course could get away with using lemonade to write his holiday greeting after a good snow.
Do you have a large family, or a boy, a girl, and a baby? Recreate the nativity scene in your home or backyard for a touching and sentimental card. This will work even better if one of you is named Joseph or Mary.
Set the sceneagain.
Make it a yearly tradition for your family to choose one of the Christmas cards you receive each year to recreate into next years Christmas pose. Recreate the scene as accurately as you possibly can. You may start getting some very interesting Christmas cards from those who would like to see you recreate their card next year.
Take the time to add a more personal touch to your Christmas cards this year by using one of these ideas, or coming up with one of your own. Your glad tidings are more likely to be saved and treasured by the recipients when a fun or funny photo of your family is part of the package.
