Last night on NPR's All Things Considered, Father described the common occurrence this time of year. In recent years, there has been an evolution in Christmas cards. A few of our friends and family will send us a card with their picture on the front. They are often dressed up in green and red. Sometimes, they are posing for the camera while on a vacation.

feel about getting a birthday card with my photo on it? "Happy Birthday!
It's a photo of me!"
