a very small number. WIth a new kid in the crew, though, may have to do a broader distribution
I do, about 35 or so
Yes, especially this year since we have a new baby that just came...some birth announcement and holiday card combo.

Yup. They're much more of a way nowadays to look and see how much my friends kids have grown (or who had a new kid this past year) than they are a way to keep up on peoples lives.
My wife handles ours, and I think that she placed an order with snapfish for about 150 this year

just ordered them online last night actually. taking the perfect picture for the christmas card is an EVENT my kids and i have come to dread but we do it with smiles on our face to keep Mrs C happy.
this year was horrible. We went out on Saturday to buy a tree and take the picture. We went to one of those "cut your own" places but i basically told my wife we ain't paying $65 for a tree we have to cut down and drag through the woods ourselves. we walked around the fields taking pictures anyway. got home to find that all the pics failed. we had used my son's DSLR which had some weird setting that made everything dark. went back out on Sunday to a local place. I had reset my son's camera to factory defaults and test pics looked fine but sunday AM the camera wasn't working so we figured it needed new batteries. picked up new batts on the way out. we proceeded to buy precut @ $35 and take pics. the stupid DSLR wouldn't turn on, even with new batts. luckily i had grabbed my point and shoot as a backup so we took a bunch of pics. Battery was almost dead tho which didn't make Mrs C happy. Luckily when we got home we found a few pix that wifey was happy with. Then we proceeded to disagree on the style of card

I've totally given up argueing about what our Christmas Card looks like. Pretty much as long as I don't have my hand down my pants, or a big booger hanging from my nose, I don't care what picture gets used! And since my wife is way more conscientious about how the picture looks than I am, I'm about 99.9999% sure that she wouldn't choose a picture that I'd have a problem with anyway
:lol:I think that our picture this year was taken tha day after the Halloween Weekend storm, where all for of us were sitting on my old Mount Snow Grand Summit Chairlift which is on my patio in my back yard in CT now. I know we had the DSLR on the tripod with the timer going that day and took a bunch of pics. If my wife chose to use them or not?? Not sure. I guess I'll find out when the ones that she didn't have snapfish address and mail for us show up at the house in the next few days
