It is that time of year. The annual Christmas photo. In the past, I have always had a photo of my daughter and the dogs. I decided to make a family photo this year. Well, I looked soooo old and haggard in the photos that no amount of touch ups or air brushing would work. I will definitely have botox and restalyne injections before I ever have another professional photo taken. The pictures of my daughter and dogs were darling.
My other big gripe is when did things become so outrageously expensive. I had sticker shock at the photo studio. The cards, the printing, the photos, etc. It seemed to cost a lot more than the past few years. I feel the same way about Christmas shopping. When did the price tag of shoes and handbags go through the roof? I was at the mall this weekend and the shoes on sale were $500 – $800. More amazing still, people were laden with shopping bags filled with all of this merchandise. I noticed the same scenario at American Girl where nothing was on sale. I must be in the wrong line of work. I am on a tight budget this year. The fiduciary burden of cancer has taken its toll.
Anyway, once I receive my photos, I will scan the darling photos of my daughter and dogs. The photographer loves my little dogs because they are always wearing costumes.

I know what you mean about looking old… I think since my diagnosis I’ve aged about 10 years! Our Christmas photo is a family shot… but thankfully it’s not a close-up! Looking forward to seeing pictures of your daughter and dogs. Happy holidays!
