Does Anyone Receive Those Picture Collage Christmas Cards From SK's?

Forums:

A friend told me she used to get those every Christmas from the adult SK's until she decided to do the same thing. Once she sent pictures on a card of just her and DH to everyone (including his "kids") they suddenly came to a screeching halt on sending them her way!

SD has them sent out by another person each year. She cannot be bothered with sitting down and actually addressing the envelopes or placing stamps on them. There's never even a personal message to anyone, JUST PICTURES OF HER!

Anyone else?

That's just weird.

My SD wouldn't be bothered to even think of sending us a card (with or without a picture), much less do it.

UGHHH

Yes we got a rather large picture framed of the princess her DH and the baby princesses and prince for xmas...cause all I really want to do is look at the royal family in my home, every damn day.

Good idea next yr a photo collage for them ...capturing all the special moments of Mr and Mrs Dovina . LOL SD would just LOVE that.

Sounds like shed decor, to me. DH can look at it when he gets the mower out, or whatever.

DH received a picture of SD literally dressed up as a princess and I felt exactly the same way. She thinks shes the ruler of the house already, no way am I having a large framed photo of her actually wearing a crown in my house

You mean, you don't want to

You mean, you don't want to blow that up and tack it to your bedroom ceiling?

I'm assuming the inlaws

I'm assuming the inlaws envisioned it taunting us in the living room daily.

Great idea

I love this idea ! I got christmas decoration to "grandad' with all 9 names and "grandkids" written on the bottom. I had toyed with the idea of sending 4 separate christmas bobbles to the children of this particular daughter with our two names printed on them hoping she would get the message that I see through her. Is it OK not to put my decoration up on the tree next year I wonder what others think ??

I would forget to put it up

I would forget to put it up (oops). It's not yours to worry about, since it was to "grandad".

I think I would accidentally

I think I would accidentally drop and step on it. Too bad, so sad!

When skid was little we did.

When skid was little, skid would hand deliver one to me and DH. Not anymore.

I’m willing to bet, at 13-years-old, BM still has skid do them... doesn’t send one to DH. LOL

I’ve seen them on my in-laws fridge in the past.

It fixes it, but the card has

It fixes it, but the card has to be mushy and touchy feely....to work...Select just the right photos too...even after years of "all about me" cards and photo gifts, playing the game back (one time), from the outsider---immediately shuts this mess down. Like magic....

We have never sent those out, but we can start a new tradition!

No kidding?

I guess they are as excited about seeing YOU plastered all over thier houses as YOU ARE (not) about seeing THEM all over your home.

After enduring it for years, I'm glad your steps got the message loud and clear!

Might have to give this a try.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

It helps to know the perspective of others, especially those who have been subjected to this form of "greeting."

How nice!!

How nice it was to receive a LARGE photo of SD and her hubby to frame and hang on a wall where everyone would see it but of course, photos of DH and I were temporarily affixed to the refrigerator by a magnet. LOL LOL And I laugh today - because that large photo migrated from the living room wall to a hall wall to behind the hall door wall, and finally found it's permanent place in a box in the closet. Yes, being disengaged allows us to be honest and respectful to ourselves. Bring on the new year!

Oh lord - our Christmas card with cows

So many years ago my DD was raising and showing cattle. We took a pic with the three heifers with each of us (DH, DD, and me) and used it for our Christmas card cause it was our life at the time. Weeeellllllllll, SD (60) got her panties in a wad over it only we didn't know till YEARS later! Lol - that card was sent to over a 100 people...not like we sent it to just her ... since then we don't get squat except a card that was a several days late this year address to "The Mr. Firstname Mountains Family". Ugh

Oh yes. Periodically over

Oh yes. Periodically over the years SS-27 used to get a family picture in the mail of his SpermIdiot, the out of wedlock SpermIdiot breeding womb donor of the month, the three younger out of wedlock SpermIdiot spawned half sibs by two other baby mamas and the womb donor's unrelated prior relationship spawn. Often the half sibs and the kids unrelated to my SS would be wearing nice clothing stolen from my SS while on SpermLand visitation.

SS would end up throwing away those pics eventually. He struggles to consider the SpermClan as family. It is really sad.
