A family Christmas card is a great gift to share with relatives and friends. Families can seek out photographers to take that special photo in a studio or outdoors in a series of holiday sessions. You could even take the family photo to a card shop, printing shop or specialty store. An experienced photographer, stationery store or printing shop can help you decide what is the best theme and look for your card. Long after the holidays, the Christmas card will serve as a reminder of family and the true meaning of staying together throughout the year, well beyond the presents and excitement of the season.
