Christmas Picture
One of the oddest of American Christmas traditions is the Christmas family picture.
Probably the most important decision to be made is what should the background be. You can be traditional and do your own 'sitting in front of the christmas tree' picture.
Or if you actually cut the coupon out of the paper, you will get dressed up and take the crew to the mall to visit the 'portrait studio' (previously known as the fitting room). Here you have dozens of choices. Do we want to look like we are vacationing in the Alps, or do we want to go for the rustic farmhouse? How about the midnight sky, or a green pasture of rolling hills? Wow, look they even have a picture of a live Christmas tree that looks neatly decorated. Oooooh they have props...lets use those, it won't look trashy or anything, they are almost clean.
There would be an interesting study in the backgrounds prople pick and why. Do we choose something that reflects who we really are, or who we want to appear to be?
This year we went for the true classic...white bedsheet hanging in the dining room. I don't think I want to know what that tells about me.

And of COURSE you have to get the family pets in the picture too. They are part of the family also. Somebody holding the cat, and also somebody trying to get the dog to stay still long enough. ^_^
