Chaos, travels and budget prevented me from sending our annual Christmas newsletter. But if we had, it would have looked something like this.
Which is only a little bit better than this Puerto Rican mayor’s card that went viral last week.
Huh?
But definitely no worse than the card my brother Pat sent.
A coincidence it’s from the Johnsons?
On a MUCH different note, l recently read about the Fosters who have been making a holiday video in lieu of Christmas cards (watch past Christmas videos posted on the sidebar). It’s just simply charming. The talented husband works in video production so if you’re in Arizona, I’d look them up. I know it’s been a lean year for them financially.

Jingle Bells – Christmas Video Greeting 2011 from Jared Foster on Vimeo.
For a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the production process (two days hard at work), go here.
And last but not least, the Kelser family Christmas video. Had to chuckle at the parody of the annoying Target lady but I love that the ENTIRE extended family got involved (no way I could convince Jamie’s family to do this; they already think I’m that crazy Target lady).

But I’m thinking we need to step it up next year for our Christmas cards.
If 2012 doesn’t swallow us whole (see top photo).
Merry Christmas!
