Well, I got into swing with cards for those bizarre and unique holidays, but most of us have some quite traditional holidays coming in December, too - something for which people commonly send cards. So, why shouldn't we do the same? This swap, unlike the bizarre holidays swaps, is sender's choice (and that's why we can afford to have three partners!). Send your seasonal greetings for whatever you celebrate around the end of year - Christmas, Yule, Solstice, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Saint Nicholas' Day, Epiphany... or just plain old New Year. (Hogswatch, on the other side, is IMO more suitable as a "bizarre December holiday".) Please be ready for your partners celebrating something different than you are used to, and don't be offended by different kind of wishes - the spirit is all the same, I hope! Create a greeting card or two or three (you may use the same photo for all of your partners) using a photo or several photos made by you and suitable for how you celebrate your holiday, write your greetings and send them off! Feel encouraged to embellish your photos a bit, either before or after printing, to make the card look more seasonally magical (whatever this means to you). Please note that this is not a card for which you make a family photo with Santa hats to send to your relatives and friends - it must be a card that you could sell to total strangers at a holiday fair. You may use your family if that fact is irrelevant from the point of the theme of photo. For example, if you decide to have a card about an one-horse-open-sleigh-dashing-through-the-snow, then it probably doesn't matter whether the horse is your pet and the happy couple on sleigh happens to be your son with his girlfriend. Someone obviously posing with a church decorated for Christmas is not OK - but a church decorated for Christmas and people entering it for service (when this is obviously part of the mood of the photo) is fine, nobody but you will know there are your family members among those people. |
