Merry Christmas!

My (and Diana's) father was into Photoshop long before the program was invented and computers were the size of whole buildings. His method was literally 'cut and paste'. To commemorate the season, I thought I would post a few of my favorite cards of Christmases past (way past.)

Before I turned into the chubby girl in the previously posted Halloween picture, I was a very cute little kid. That's me in the upper left with Diana looking adorable on the right.


Wow! Those are some really BIG stockings!


As you can see, our father was very creative. (Still is, actually.)


When I hit school age, I entered my awkward stage. Even my candle was fat!
(Our mother was a teacher and I believe one of her coworkers, an art teacher, drew the candles.)

Ron and I hope this holiday season finds you happy and healthy and living life to the fullest!

    Loved the walk down memory lane. The card with the candles should have had your dad (my Uncle Ellis)wearing a bow tie.

    Love the cards. I can think of no Christmas photos my family ever took. Strange. Some day my kids might wish I had not!! Zillions! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Ron.
