Nine more days until Christmas! Can you believe that? I know! I can’t believe it, either! It seems like the time leading up to Christmas has flown by!
Receiving Christmas cards is always a joy for me, but I’d never received many until I got here in the U.S. of A. And that’s because sending Christmas cards is not something that we do back home. So it never fails to delight me to receive them in the mail. Apparently, it’s a big deal here in the U.S.
The previous years, I sent New Year Cards to return the favor. But this year, I decided to create a Christmas card to send to my family and friends here in the U.S. and in the Philippines. Yup, this is our first family Christmas card ever!
And since it’s our first Christmas card, I decided to use the photo of our first Christmas here in the U.S. which was a white Christmas. Call that perfect and amazing! It was the first time me and Yogi had ever seen snow!
This photo was taken on Christmas Day of 2010. I remember it started snowing early that morning and before we knew it, the surroundings were already covered in white. And that was the heaviest we got that year. I surely didn’t expect that. I wasn’t praying for a white Christmas either, but it seemed like fate and destiny knew how to make our first Christmas here the perfect and the most special one and it gave us just that.
I will never ever forget that because that day will forever be in my memory. And you know what? That was it, we’ve never had another white Christmas since then. This year is our 7th Christmas here and looks like it’s not going to be white either.
Our son surely had a blast although it was cold.
I think I’ll just be singing the song..”I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…” from now until we get another one.
May you all have a wonderful holiday weekend and the merriest of Christmases!
I love those shots! Christmas cards are always better when you can make them with candid shots like these. Love it!
These are great Christmas cards!!! I love natural shots instead of staged shots for holiday cards like this.
Sending Christmas cards to my relatives and friends were our tradition. Your Christmas cards are really great! Merry Christmas to your family.
Oh! I’m glad your son was had fun although it was cold! I really love your Christmas cards! Such a fun shots for your family! Happy Holidays!!
Cute cards – loving the photos – especially the one on the back LOL
Merry Christmas to you and your family too! Those are wonderful shots and what a wonderful idea to use them for your Christmas card. Perfect way to update everyone of how you’re family is doing over the Holidays. = )
Your cards came out SO cute! I love them! I love seeing other Christmas cards! I’m always SO late on getting my cards out, and this year is not any different HAHA!
Aww, your Christmas card is absolutely adorable! Wishing you and your beautiful family the merriest of holidays and the happiest of new years!
These are my favorite types of holiday cards! The ones that aren’t staged and genuine. Your family looks so happy and I am so happy to see your son is adjusting well out here!
I love your Christmas cards. Merry Christmas to you and your family too. Our family hasn’t done Christmas cards in forever. I used to have photos done with the kids for Christmas when they were little.
What a beautiful Christmas card! It has been ages and ages since I’ve sent or received a Christmas card, but I would love to get back into the tradition of sending them.
Merry Christmas to your family! I love this photo on your holiday card, kids love being in the snow so much! I prefer to stay inside with my hot cocoa.
