Have you ever missed out on an important picture? Perhaps it was a family photo? A class reunion photo? Your family’s photo Christmas cards photo? Check this out:  thanks to modern technology you can be in the photo without even being there.

Looking back, I realize now that there are at least two times in my life that I regret not being in a picture and wish I knew how to use picture editing programs back then. The first time was when an international youth magazine came to take a picture of our class. For most regular teens, that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I had a terrible headcold that day and was home sick from school.

The second time was when I was a part of Youth Outdoors program. At that time in my life I considered it a big deal because it was something none of the other schools in that State had done and I got to be a part of it. Of course I happened to be absent again. I didn’t even know the picture had been taken until the yearbook came out. Even now, I look back and wish things could have been different.

Take a page from me and don’t spend years regretting who is not in an important photo: just break out the photo editing software and make that missing person a part of the photo.  Almost instantly, you’ll have a great image for your Christmas card, corporate newsletter, or yearbook.  What an easy solution!

Christmas Eve is mostly celebrated by Christians who like to
attend a candlelight service or midnight
mass to celebrate the birth of Christ (The reason for the season). It is rare
for Churches to have a service on Christmas day as that is considered by most
as a family day to open presents and if they are so inclined to have there own
way of celebrating the occasion.

Christmas Eve is also a huge day for retailers. So many last minute shoppers
make Christmas Eve a very big shopping day. Macy’s started the tradition of
being open until midnight on Christmas
Eve in 1867. Other retailers soon started following suit. Now many stores are
open until midnight on Christmas Eve
for those who haven’t been able to get their act together before then.
Christmas Eve is a little late to be buying Christmas cards until maybe you
want to send a New Year’s Card instead.
