Christmas Cards 2010, Courtesy of Shutterfly

It's the holiday season...the time to start thinking about what Christmas card we'll send out to friends and family all over the country. In some cases, this is the only correspondence we may share all year, which makes it all the more important to find something we really like. Shutterfly has always been our go-to site for anything picture related. We have relied on them for our cards the past several years and have been impressed with the quality each time. This year, they are running a special promotion for bloggers where you can receive 50 free cards. Check it out here: http://bit.ly/sfly2010 .

My favorite Christmas cards are always the ones with pictures of loved ones, and now that the baby has come along it's probably no secret who will be plastered front and center on our cards this year (sorry, dogs!). Shutterfly has so many fabulous photo cards to choose from (http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards), but these are a few of my favorites (copy and paste into browser!):

I think it's important to remember that when we celebrate the holiday, we are celebrating CHRISTmas, and Jesus is the reason for the season. Therefore, no "Merry X-mas," "Happy Holidays," "Season's Greetings," or "Santa Stop Here" cards for us. Thankfully, Shutterfly has a great number of cards that fit the bill.

We also love their photo books (http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books), and some family members may just find one under the tree this year...

Mums the word on which card we're picking, but here's a little teaser to tide you over!

Determined not to take one more picture...drool and tears, oh dear.
