12.6.11 - Unnecessary Stress

2010 Christmas Card
I have a tradition each year that is causing me a lot of stress: I don't have my Christmas card designed yet! My good friends and co-wrokers know how important this is to me and I can't decide on a final design. Nothing seems to be good enough. Every idea I bring up to the family has been shot down for various reasons, the most common being, "It's not as good as last year." So, without a design and only being 3 weeks away from Christmas, I am starting to panic a little. I need some

inspiration or to lower my own and family expectations. There IS something to be said for simple, maybe that's what the theme will be...something nice and simple....

Anyways, I need to figure it out because I am causing unnecessary stress on myself for something that is intended to be fun and send warm holiday wishes.  It may seem ridiculous to some, and frankly even I can agree to that, but I love that our family is aligned in the importance of a tradition - any tradition.  Every family has their wacky traditions and this just happens to be one of ours.
