I can't find any Christmas thread, but I thought there was already one out there... (so if there is, mods, feel free to transfer this to that) Anyways, I am looking for a simple line or two for our Christmas cards that I am making. I am looking for something to mach this: (My ds is the artist)

Celebrating the joy of his birth! Love Julieboo and family actually, I think if you just all three signed your names, it's perfect the way it is.

julie, after posting my reply above, i'm now thinking this: since your son made a beautiful card, so original...i think YOU or your husband should finish the card (if you think it needs finishing). it's a very special card...and i think you and dh should leave it as your son has created it...or add your own special touch if you want. your son created his thoughts on that card...i don't think we can make it any better than that. eta: i think you might already know this, julieboo.

I think I agree with Abby on this one. Maybe adding a simple, "Merry Christmas, love the Julieboo family." I think most, if not all, would be more touched by something he put so much creativity and love into than by something you can find in any Christmas card.

I agree you don't need much.. My first thought after reading what your son wrote was "Allelulia!"

I love that, Sea. One word is perfect. Course, on the easier comprehension scale, you could have him write: Joy to the world Are you going to scan this and use the computer? Or turn it over to a service to make cards from it? He could sign his name (or your family name) inside a camel, a star, a heart or even a cottage, etc.

Thanks you guys!! I knew you'd have answers for me and inspire me! I am scanning it in and printing them myself. I have to say they "almost" look real! I am using a heavy stock that is already scored. (That baby camel is so cute!)

Actually since I cannot make up my mind, (and I have the power since I am printing these myself) I think I will do a variety!

I dont know if this is the right place for this, but here goes. I was listening to some Christmas music at home yesterday. If its not being forced down my throat, I love Christmas songs. I was thinking how every year in a weird way, Nat King Cole, Burl Ives, Bing Crosby and Perry Como all come back to life thru their songs. To me, there's only one version of The Christmas Song, and that's by Nat Cole. Only Andy Williams signing Happy Holidays, will do, and only Karen Carpenter can sing Merry Christmas Darling. What are your favorite songs, and who can they only be sung by?

Julie I think the card you son made it great. I would just add a few lines. I wouldn't add any other graphics but that's just me. I'd add something simple like this Let us celebrate his life With the ones we love, this day And all the days of the year Happy Holidays

Holiday tips and gifts. I was just trying to get some ideas on what everyone does. I'm thinking that since we had the hurricane I should change some things. The paper carrier always gets a tip. How much or what do you normally tip? I always do 25.00 but am wondering if that is enough considering what he went through in early September to get our papers here. On the other hand I don't want to up for this year only to disappoint him next year with the regular tip. The man who brings our daughters supplies all year. Again I always do a tip so he is covered. I always take home made eatings goodies to the Dr.s office, psotal carrier, same with the bus driver. I'm thinking this year maybe a gift card. I know people have lost a lot if not everything. Would gift cards be out of line for this year? Or would you do cash, or just stick with the goodies? My mom drummed it in my head all my life that cash or gift cards showed no thought. I always feel so guilty when I don't put tons of effort into a gift.

I think that with everyone losing so much with the hurricanes this year a gift card or cash would be perfect, that way they can get something they really need. I personally would not up it this year but instead maybe a card with a personal note inside saying how thankful you are that he/she did such a great job this year.

I agree with Jagger on the two cards thing, perhaps a Christmas Card with the normal tip and then a Thank You card with a little something more, for extra hurricane service. That way he'll know how much you appreciated his dedication during extreme circumstances.

Everyone in the news has been commenting on the fact that A Charlie Brown Christmas is clebrating its 40th anniversary this year. I was wondering who were the children whose voices were used. They sounded so sweet singing and reading that passage from the Bible, yet you never hear who they were. Does anyone know anything about the kids who did the voices and where they are now? I'm really interested.

Cablejockey: The book A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition has background info on the special as well interviews. And the DVD I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown includes the "making of" special of the original classic. It includes some brief clips of the now grown-up kids.
