Christmas Pictures

Christmas is one of those KODAK holidays! There are probably more pictures taken at Christmas time than any other time of the year! However, most scrapbookers agree that Christmas layouts are not their favorite to scrapbook.
Why is that? I have talked with several scrapbookers and have discovered that the main reason seems to be - I just take to many pictures at Christmas! Also, the quality of my Christmas pictures isn't so great because I am rushed trying to capture everything.

Do you take to many Christmas pictures in a rush and then feel overwhelmed when it comes time to scrapbook those few Christmas layouts? I hope that this list will help you capture some special shots that will make scrapbooking this years Christmas tons of FUN!

Christmas Pictures to Capture
*family photo

*children hanging an ornament on the tree. (a close up of a little hand hanging the hook would be great to add to this layout as well)

*Christmas tree

*close up of some favorite ornaments (maybe even do a page about some of your special ornaments with photos of each)

*Stockings hanging

*Unwrapped packages

*the Christmas morning paper mess (maybe a closeup on a big wad of christmas wrap!)

*children snug in their beds

*Your nativity

*Once the gifts are open. Arrange all of the gifts for one photo. Get your child in the photo with all of her gifts.

*Christmas dinner. A shot of the dinner table, the buffet lined with food, closeup of grandmas hand slicing the pie, pictures of the traditional food at your Christmas feast.

*family group shots in front of the tree

*don't forget to hand the camera over to others so that you can get in some of the pictures this Christmas as well!

The list goes on and on but maybe these will get you thinking about some of the Christmas pictures you would like to capture this Christmas! Make this years Christmas scrapbooking more fun with well thought out pictures instead of the rushed pictures we usually end up with each year!

Have a Merry Christmas!
