Family Christmas Card Pic - Question

MIL insists that everyone be in it every year, is this common?

E.g.: Mil, FIL, SIL, SIL#2 & her FH, BIL & his GF, myself, DH, and DD

I guess the part that annoys me is that she chose a terrible pic that was super dark and DD had one shoe on and wasn't even looking! We suggested that she use our picture since it was brighter and DD wasn't a mess but she chose her pic.

That doesn't happen with my parents or the ILs, but we do get a few like that.

better than the card we get with JUST the grown children, no spouses or grandchildren Chat Icon

I would think it was kind of strange if my MIL asked me to do it

Honestly, if it's her card then I would let her do what she wants. You suggested a better picture, she declined. That's pretty much the end of it. Just make sure you send a super cute pic of your DC.Chat Icon

MIL takes these types of pics all the time. I find this a little offensive, especially because she goes, "OK, now only the originals. Everyone else out." Chat Icon But it would be super strange as just grown children on a card Chat Icon

Good point.

Although...maybe I should add a picture of her looking disheveled to our Christmas card next year Chat Icon

I would probably do the same.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I would bet the reason she turned down your picture is because she preferred how SHE looked in hers.
