This year, I thought I would show everyone a classic Florida Christmas.
I took this picture last week. Doesn't Katarina look cold? Brrrr.
Katarina has a Poinsettia.
Poinsettias are Christmasy, right?
Okay. I'll admit it. It doesn't look very Christmasy.
I can't help it that it is approximately 90 degrees here.
(I hope Poinsettias don't require cold temperatures to live.)
What about this?
Better. Almost there.
But, wait!
I need a Christmas letter, carefully detailing all of our exciting news from the last year.
I can't send out just a card with no letter. What will people think?
I will be forever regulated to the Christmas-Card-Slacker list for sure.
Hmm. Let me think. What have we been doing all year?
If only I had kept a carefully detailed record of our adventures...
Oh yes. I know exactly what to write.
I think that covers it.
Happy Christmas Card creating, y'all.
*I actually love getting long, newsy letters with Christmas cards. They make me happy. And occasionally they make me laugh when I mock them. Not that I would ever actually do that. Ahem.
Love. This. I wish my cards weren't already off at the printer!
ReplyDeleteNext year! ;-)
DeleteI love the cards, looks great.
DeleteIt really IS perfect. LOL! Merry Christmas from the rainy, dreary, wishing for snow Kentuckians!
ReplyDeleteIt is rainy and dreary here, too. With a 0% chance of snow.
DeleteSuch is life in Florida.
Merry Christmas to my Wonder-fam.
haha. Im not sure if christmas cards will even get out this year....Im too busy busy with 2 jobs....And people cant say they have been reading my blog...haha I havent been updating...I'm a BIG slacker! Love this post though!
ReplyDeleteYeah. Whether or not these cards actually get printed and then mailed is still questionable.
DeleteYou need more blog updating. I miss you when you aren't writing!
LOL Read the blog, check facebook- it's all there. No need for a letter!
ReplyDeleteOh see I am with Meggs I want snow for my Christmas, it is just a must have.. and if it doesn't snow I am all kinds of upset. Love the Christmas card too cute..
ReplyDeleteI want snow for Christmas too. It would be so very perfect.
DeleteThis made me giggle. I'm in Australia, so I can relate to non-wintery Christmases very well. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut just once or twice I'd really like to try a "proper white Christmas". One day!
One day I would like to have one too!!
DeleteI forget that y'all have your seasons opposite times to us.
Hee! Love it!
ReplyDeleteVery clever and a whole lotta truth! :)
Thanks! :)
DeleteSo envious of your climate. Fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou can have it! ;-)
DeleteWe wore shorts again today. I'm pretty sure it is not going to even get near cold this "winter".
this IS the perfect Christmas Card!
ReplyDeletehehe Thanks! ;-)
DeleteHahahaha, this is brilliant Tracie!!
ReplyDeleteFun! I love it - I think you made Florida look as Christmas-y as possible. :)
ReplyDeleteMy heart will always belong to Florida.
ReplyDeleteMiss those sunny Xmas days...
Exactly. Read the blog, peeps. It's easier on everyone AND the earth. You're so wise:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Tracie, I am inspired!
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful, T.
ReplyDeleteHappy HOlidasy!
haha! That's perfect. Yes, read the blog. You did a great job on your card :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm coming to your blog after a couple of years, Tracie. How much Katarina has grown! I sense a new vibrancy about your blog. Hope to visit more often.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! ♥
Hahaha what an awesome card and beautiful girl! :D
ReplyDeleteWow we're in the extreme opposite. The far Canadian North. We have tons of snow here. Want some?! You have a lovely family.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! And familiar. We are in 90-degree land too (Houston). Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I haven't had a successful family picture taking lately, so I just might boycott Christmas cards this year. Getting everyone to take a picture AND look normal is impossible!
ReplyDeleteHey, I like the first one...it is Christmasy....well in a "Christmas in Florida" kind of way. Hope to see you soon!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the SITS link-up, where I just joined the community. Love your card! :) I wish I would have done something like that now!! Haha! I also love getting the Christmas letters, so I send one, too. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect! Merry Christmas, Tracie! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I totally LOVED this post, haha. It made me laugh out loud because it's SO true! And even funnier we received a 2 page letter from a friend who also is one of those ppl who updates her status on FB 5 times a day. My MIL turned to me and said, "What on earth could she have put in here that she hasn't already talked about 20 times on facebook??!!" Hehehe
