Holiday Photo Project

Harold Making Funny Faces

Hey! Let’s do a holiday photo project! Some of you will get new cameras and videocameras for the holidays. Let’s use them!

For those of you celebrating the holidays over the next few days, let’s do this: take a snap that represents what REALLY is going on. You know what I mean. Don’t take the posed, pretty, everyone-wearing-the-same-sweater photo. Take the photo of your daughter crying because you didn’t buy her the Littlest Pet Shop Euthenasia Set, or that picture of Aunt Bernaise with her teeth out, snoring in the corner.

Post them on your blog, on Flickr, wherever it makes sense, and throw a link in the comments, or link back to this post. Whatever works.

Extra points for video.

And, if something really sparks my fancy, I’ve got four STUFFED boxes of over 25 pounds of books, comics, and other things that I’ll mail to you (US and Canada only for those). It’s not a contest, but if you wow me, I’ll be moved to share something with you.

What do you think? You in?

    The annual Jones family white elephant gift exchange turned out to be a little more exciting this year…

    As my brother-in-law commented, “Airfare to Utah – $300. Presents for family – $600. Aunt Amy's white elephant gift – $14.99. Lifelong therapy for traumatized niece who opened box with live Tarantula – priceless.”

    15 granddaughters, 4 grandsons, six daughters, three son-in-laws. The screaming continues and Katie shows no fear: http://bit.ly/6xkQLc

    A better view of the rather large spider. My favorite part of this clip is Uncle Morris, the acknowledged master prankster of the group trying in vain to convince his wife that he had nothing to do with the Tarantula. In truth, he didn't. The prank was entirely the work of my dear wife, Aunt Amy – who will never live down her reputation as the “mean aunt.” http://bit.ly/7z3ms7

    Thanks to Jack H. for suggesting that I share these clips.

    My 7 year old daughter is always singing around the house but very very shy if anyone stops to notice…I was so bummed to have to travel on business during her first solo in the school Christmas play. My wife took our Flip Cam on my behalf and I am so glad this was captured….our daughter was proud, my heart melted and like all parents…I think she is going to be a HUGE star. This is my 17 second memory defining Christmas 2009. We are so blessed.

    Rob –

    My wife and I are having our first child (baby girl – @babywaldow) in March. Watching your 7 year old daughter, Zoe, sing on stage was brilliant. Get's me pumped to be a dad soon. I also think she'll be a HUGE star. Very happy for you and your wife.

    Thanks so much for sharing.

    DJ,

    I can't even begin to describe the Daddy/Daughter relationship. I have a son too – he is awesome…it is different…but all good. I had a friend describe it as 'my son makes my heart soar, my daughter makes it melt.' I like that. Congrats on your first child! Its an awesomely beautiful thing!

    I hired a professional photographer to come to our house and take a family Christmas picture of the four of us in front of the fireplace. Me, my husband, the dachshund, and the cat sat on the floor and got some great pictures (the photographer is very patient and good with animals).

    Toward the end, we decided to take some sweet pictures of just me and the husband. We went in for a little kiss.

    Someone else decided they had to be involved as well.

    We call this “getting wiener-dogged:” http://twitpic.com/w1gq1

    Wireless Eye-Fi card is temperamental. This morning I recorded the opening EVA ustream parents so my wife could watch it later with all offers. It's not live but they still did not miss out on the action. We will see what today brings.
