Is it bad that the photographer doesn't have a holiday card?

A non photo blog entry for once. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only 3 more shoots to edit and send out! i had 12 in 5 days, right around thanksgiving, and i'm trying to get the pictures to people soon so they can send their holiday cards. Who knew photography would be so stressful. I do have some friends who waited a while to ask me for photographs, but i'm hoping to space those out a bit.

i just had the realization that i have no christmas cards figured out for my family. i had a calendar entry to get that done in september, but that clearly didn't happen. maybe next year i'll get them done early. i took some pictures while my kids were decorating the tree, so that might be the card. or i may use some random beach shots from some past beach visits...hmm. suggestions are appreciated.

and now, back to editing....for those curious as to what photographers do post session: i spend about 5 -7 hours on each shoot after the shoot is over. i'm hoping to increase my efficiency in 2009, but that's where i'm at now. so, 12 shoots times 7 hours = 84 hours of cranky husband and kids.
