    Christmas card, whacha think?

    So I'm thinking about reshooting this, with both my kids in it, and maybe the dog, because she thinks she's tough...


    On the inside, it would say "Have a Kick-Ass Christmas"

    Is that too much for a holiday card?

    Re: Christmas card, whacha think?

    I think it's a great, but I don't know your friends and family. I think it would be too much for my family.

    edit: Wow. "Friends and family" is a hyperlink?

    Cool Is that too much for a holiday card?

    I love the shot! Great expression.

    Adding her sister and the dog would be a nice touch, but I'm not sure it would have quite as much impact as this one would want.

    "Have a Kick-Ass Christmas" might be a little much for a Christmas card, but hey, I'm old fashioned.

    Or maybe I'm just old.

    And it's not (IMO) the language. There's nobody kicking... :cryin:

    I like the idea, though. It's so soccer mom...

    I love it. Considering our Christmas card last year was two squirrels gettin it on in the back yard, I don't think it's too much at all. I still haven't decided what this years card is going to be.

    Re: Christmas card, whacha think?

    I like it! I would do it just to shock my stuffy old family members and friends.

    You could also say "Have a Merry Christmas....or else." Or something along those lines...if you wimp out and decide to be PC.

    Re: Christmas card, whacha think?

    Very cute idea. I would swap the word "ass" for "butt" or something more suitable for grandmas.

    Edit: or, maybe just "Have a kickin Christmas"

    Well, considering Adina will be turning twenty in a couple of weeks, I'd guess her mom (the kids' grandma) is around forty or so. I'm pretty sure she'll be able to handle the word ass...

    Ah, nothing like a running gag...

    If you put a Santa hat on her -- you'd have it pegged!
