Ugly Sweater Card
-
Find a new purpose for those ugly sweaters hiding in your closet. Think outside the box beyond the red and green sweaters. This year take the entire family to your local thrift store and hold a contest. The family member who can find the ugliest sweater wins. Crown the winner of the contest by placing a Santa hat on her head. This is a entertaining holiday tradition that will leave you all in stitches. Once everyone has picked the ugliest sweater he can find, choose a time and place to have your holiday photograph taken.
Keep "Christ" in Christmas
-
With today's bombardment of commercialism, it is easy to forget about the true meaning of Christmas. By designing your Christmas card photograph around a religious theme, you can send a friendly reminder to those you care about this holiday season. Have the entire family re-enact the nativity scene, dressed in long robes. Include the family pets in your photograph to represent the animals present in the manger. If there is an infant present in the family, she could be dressed as baby Jesus.

Have a "Super" Holiday Season
-
For a real standout card this holiday season, think "Super" thoughts, as in superheroes. Each family member will need to pick his favorite superhero and dress up in character. When taking your photograph make sure that the family members pose like their characters would. Flexing muscles, pretending to fly, in a fighting stance or trying to bend a metal object are a few pose ideas. You can then include a greeting on your cards such as "Have a Super Holiday Season."
Candid Shots of the Family
-
A collage of candid family photos will make grandparents want to frame your holiday card for year-round admiration. The candid shots will catch the individual personalities of each family member. Pictures of children laughing and playing will capture the innocence of the spirit of the holiday season. Fido laying down with a pair of reindeer ears will add a comical aspect. You can add an extra artistic edge to your photo by taking it in black-and-white or sepia tone.
