Some years I know the exact photo and the exact card I want to use for our Christmas cards. Other years I have no idea because the possibilities are endless! This is one of the years I can’t decide on the picture(s) or the card. I’m torn because I love our professional family photos we had done for the first time in 3 years and then I like the idea of using one or several of my favorite Instagram photos.
