I am totally on the ball this year with my Christmas cards. With both kids in college now, I knew that Thanksgiving break would be my best bet for a family photo. 

We are a casual family so I kept it simple.  We could get this competed with little fuss. I set up my tripod and camera before heading to Mom's house for Thanksgiving. A remote for your camera makes this so much easier. You don't have to set the timer and run to get in place. The only issue here is that the new kitten, Jack, would not cooperate!

I am so proud of myself for creating our cards quickly. I actually enjoy the task of designing the holiday card each year. This is the FIRST year that we are all in the card. I know – crazy! I usually just have the kids. I wonder if friends and family will notice!

This year I ordered my holiday cards with Office Depot’s Workonomy™ Print and Copy services. Office Depot is your go-to place for all your holiday gifting and mailing needs. From Christmas cards and personalized photo gifts to fabulous in-store gifts, Office Depot has you covered. I'll definitely be stopping in for stocking stuffers.

Remember how I said that Jack wouldn't cooperate for the photo? I had his photo printed on the back of the card. He is such a cutie at almost 5 months old. In the past, I reserved the back of the card for details about the kids. This doesn't mean that I love my cat more. (Ha, ha!)

I think the thing that I appreciated the most about designing and ordering my cards from Office Depot is this one amazing feature. Once you upload your photo, it shows your photo in the card templates as you go through them deciding. It is such a time saver opposed to other platforms where you have to click on the card to see how your photo looks in it. It made selecting the card so much more efficient. This mom needs efficient. 

I find photo cards to be so special. I know friends and family enjoy receiving them. It's also fun to look at photos from past years. I never throw away photo cards that we receive. I have a beautiful painted box that I place them in each year. 

I'm so pleased with our card this year. The vintage feel is so fitting with our style. Office Depot has so many styles to select!

Christmas cards are just beautiful! They are just too special to not display in a creative way to enjoy. 

Here are a few ways to hopefully inspire you to display your Christmas Cards!

A fun and simple way is to display them on garland. Just pick up a pack of miniature clothespins. 

You can display them any way you like. This works great on a staircase or around a door frame.

Be sure to display your card first so you can enjoy it every time you walk by it!

Purchased card stands are readily available these days. This one rotates around you can easily view them. 

You can easily remove a card to take a look at it and return it to the stand. 

Another way to display your cards is in a bowl, basket or tray. I like to place them on the coffee table. Every time that I do this, friends and family actually pick them up and go through them when visiting. I love this….cards are meant to be looked at and enjoyed over and over!

We've already received 4 cards this year! I so love tearing into those envelopes. 

Ways to Display Christmas Cards

• clothespin to garland
• card stand
• place in baskets, trays and bowls
• punch hole in card and hang on the tree with ribbon
• hang a wide ribbon vertically and pin or clip cards to it
• tape around a doorway
• swag ribbon around a doorway or window and attach cards
