Just "Happy Holidays" and a picture of someone's family leaves me a little cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197572 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:07:21 +0000 looch 1197572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love photo cards, I don't think of them as impersonal at all!</p> <p>I like family photos, though, I find the ones with just kids to be a little weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197559 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:01:48 +0000 Adira 1197559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: I wish more of my friends/family did what you did! I'd love a photo card that was folded!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197542 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:56:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 1197542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love photo cards (and letters) but I hang up all the photo cards on my fridge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197532 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:52:32 +0000 sandy 1197532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we do folded photo cards for that very reason - easier to display and we can include more photos as well as a message (we just write 3-4 sentences with major updates). </p> <p>I love displaying photo cards from our family/friends during the holidays </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197523 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:50:10 +0000 lamariniere 1197523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love photo cards too. I used to send longish, personal, hand written holiday cards to a dozen or so people, but stopped doing it. When I send photo cards, I usually add a short personal note. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197502 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:42:54 +0000 bpcmarj 1197502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send photo cards, but I always always always hand write a personal message in them. I usually include a letter in some of my relatives cards, too. I completely remove the spot that says "Love, Last Name" from the layout of the cards. It really bugs me when people don't at least sign their own name. It really doesn't take that long and it feels like they actually wrote it out for you... like write the person you are sending it to's name and then sign yours. Otherwise you just stuck a card in an envelope. I don't know, I am weird about that kind of stuff!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197467 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:31:15 +0000 Adira 1197467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I probably should start doing that, since more and more people are sending photocards these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197464 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:30:30 +0000 BSB 1197464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Ah, I see. We tape all of our cards and photocards to the wall or the closet door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197462 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:29:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1197462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love photos but I also like it when people actually sign their cards! That way, it's not impersonal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197456 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:26:45 +0000 Adira 1197456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Personally, I prefer to just get a regular photo because I like to be able to put the photo out year-round and I hate having a festive card for that.</p> <p>Also, I HATE photocards because I display all my cards on our mantle or bookcase and photocards don't stand up on their own (unless someone actually gets a folded one, but I've never received one of those). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197445 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:23:05 +0000 travelingnanny 1197445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira- I have a friend who considers photo cards totally impersonal. You're not alone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197442 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:22:23 +0000 BSB 1197442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think getting a photo with a card and photo card is the same thing in my book!

I don't do photo cards! I'm just doing a regular card and including a photo of Xander inside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197433 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:18:00 +0000 Smurfette 1197433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: photo cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197431 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:16:57 +0000 shinymama 1197431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's just say that I get a case of the blahs when I open a holiday card that does NOT have a picture on it. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197426 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:15:42 +0000 sunny 1197426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have sent photo cards for the past few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197424 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:15:27 +0000 Alivoo01 1197424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fan of photocards during Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197420 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:14:33 +0000 yin 1197420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love photo cards!

I save them every year so I can see all my friends' families growing. It's so much fun to look through the old cards every Christmas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-thoughts-on-holiday-cards-are-you-a-picure-or-special-note-kind-of-card-person#post-1197347 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:46:17 +0000 travelingnanny 1197347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love getting holiday cards from my friends and family. This year I'm determined to send my own out :)</p> <p>I'm leaning towards sending a picture card with a photo of nanny-baby and I. Don't worry her parents are fine with it. Anyway, I never share her photos online (outside of the occasional emailed picture) and I know a lot of my relatives/ friends would go crazy to see a picture of us together. I'm still mulling the idea over :) </p>
