Now is the time to start planning your Christmas newsletter (if you write one, of course). Don't get caught the night before you want to mail it trying desperately to think of what the heck you did this year! Procrastinating on this one will suck the Christmas cheer right out of you and your letter. Start thinking now of what you'd like to share, and be ready with your camera for great family shots. The more current the better. By getting a head start, your letter and photos will be much more natural and relevant. Being relieved of this duty when the holiday season begins to get hectic will give you some much-needed breathing room.*I speak from experience. We have graced several Christmas cards with fake smiles plastered onto our strained faces due to a frustrating last-minute photo shoot. In the dark. With a blinding flash. And a seething dog wearing antlers, thinking murderous thoughts. Trust me, it isn't pretty!

Thanksgiving has been our traditional time for the family photo shoot. We're usually all together that weekend and I still like to have the older kids in the shot : )
Great idea! I think I'll try that this year too- thanks for the tip!
