Sentimental and Fun Christmas Card Photo Ideas
Okay, so Christmas is a time of reverence and respect. True, but it’s also a time of joy and creativity. Many families think Christmas is the perfect time to get their thinking caps on and outdo last year’s gag Christmas card photo with a new and improved version. Here are some sentimental and fun Christmas card photo ideas to get the juices stirring this year.
Pet Christmas Card Photo Ideas
People love their pets and why not? Most animals are far cuter than humans and so willing to dress up in stocking cap or Santa’s beard for their one shot at fame. This craze probably got its inspiration from the movie “The Grinch That Stole Christmas.” Who can forget the Grinch putting antlers on Max, his faithful dog? And wasn’t he just the cutest?
Dogs aren’t the only pets that can get in on the act. The more exotic the pet, the better chances they can be a Christmas star too! Ferrets, birds, and hamsters can be posed with stockings and ornaments too.
Character Portraits Christmas Card Photo Ideas
It’s not only pets that like to get dressed up and ham it up in front of the camera for Christmas. Many people like to dress up as characters in their favorite Christmas stories. There are ample characters to choose from the Christmas literature and movies: Rudolph, Scrooge, Elves, Santa or Mrs. Santa, Frosty the Snowman. These are among the most well known.
Some mix this up with characters in other media that they think are humorous, like Ms. Piggy, The Grinch, and The Simpsons. Still others might dress up as their favorite celebrity like Elvis in complete Christmas regalia or a Dolly Parton Christmas spoof.
Kids and babies can get in on the act too as they naturally resemble angels anyway. Many people have their children popping out of presents in the spirit of the season.
Stills of Artwork or Movie Scenes Christmas Card Photo Ideas
If you want to make a comment on culture, there’s always the media or fine arts to choose from for your Christmas card photo ideas. People might take a well-known image like the Mona Lisa, pose themselves in similar stance and garb and add a Christmas hint here and there like mistletoe above their heads.
Gags and Punch lines Christmas Card Photo Ideas
People take great delight in showcasing their family’s sense of humor about the season. Some photograph themselves in ludicrous getups with a gag greeting line to remind themselves to stop drinking the eggnog.
Out-of-Place Landscape Christmas Card Photo Ideas
Don’t want to get dressed up or down? Then, just pick an old photograph with an odd backdrop for your Christmas family photo, like a Las Vegas Casino, and add a humorous punch line like: “They had the best Christmas lights here.”
