I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it every year to come — fresh Christmas trees are our jam. It’s not just enjoying it in our home or the lingering whiffs of fresh pine; but also the process of picking it out! Say, the kids playing hide and seek in the rows. Or pulling out prospective trees, giving each a good head to toe look-over. Or singing along with the Christmas carols that are playing in the background. It’s all of these things that make a fresh tree our tree of choice. But this year, SNOW! Oh the snow! This magical winter wonderland dictated the impromptu family Christmas card photo! Uh, guys… right here is the perfect spot! Let’s get someone to take one of all of us! Tree lot worker dude, you’ll never know how much it meant to us! The trees dusted in snow. These people laughing all the way. This time of year. Oh Christmas tree, you make everything merry and right! Looking for a family photographer Hermosa Beach? You may call Della Ripa Photography.

Choosing the perfect card can be daunting. That’s why Minted is my go-to place for stress-free production. I select my favorite picture, upload it, and then I can instantly see how it would look in various designs all at once. A gold-foiled design and a classically clean card were both in the running. But ultimately we went with the fun snowy love + joy one — to most adequately depict the experience we had! The printed recipient address (at no extra charge) and return labels, make the whole thing a breeze. Just stuff the the card inside, getting your little elf children to lick the back and stick on the stamps (or stickers, as they call them). Oh and did you know they do personalized wrapping paper too?! I’m trying to exercise self-control… we’ll see how long it takes before I cave! ha!

Don’t worry, there’s STILL TIME to bust out a card! Find a blank wall, toss a cute candy cane sucker in everyones hand, put on a smile, and snap! You’re done! Plus, Minted is offering FREE expedited shipping for 12/18 delivery + 15% off! HURRY! Use code: SHIP + WINTER15 at checkout
