' u CU2L Christmas Photo -Greetings Home snapshots mounted with personally lettered greetings never fail td make a hit as Christmas cards.' • MOW is the time when many of l �f you should lie recalling that last year you .didn't do anything about Christmas cards until just before Christmas. Then yaw were obliged, as usual, to buy ready-made cards when what you really wanted -was something distinctly personal. And don't you remember your resolution not to let another year; go by without preparing an original Christmas card of your own? Well, here is Christmas coming on 'again and what have you done about it? Nothing yet? Then get busy and, since you have a camera, do you need to be reminded that the most distinctly individual and ac- ceptable Christmas card that cart be devised is one that bears a snapshot of yourself, or members of your family or your home. Such a greet- , ing touches the heartstrings of your friends and relatives as words alone never'can:• ., So, look over your old 'snapshots: and see if you have one that yoii think suitable togo ion. a Christnaas .card. ;If you have none that you quite Iike for. this purpose, get. •out •your camera and bag the picture you need to fi1l. the' bili: The most strictly individual snap- shot Christmas card is one which you prepare entirely yourself. If you like simplicity, buy plain note -size cards and envelopes, paste the prints ort the cards and -write on there the greeting that pleases you. Or, if yon prefer, you can have your photo finisher do the work for you: Most photo finishers supply cards for this purpose with space for the print and decorated with a Christmas motif to, suit various tastes. Ideas for snapshot greeting cards: are innumerable. While your friends. always will like the simple portrait: snapshot, 'the story -telling picture, pleases most—the picture which. shows the subject doing something characteristic or amusing, One of: the cleverest Christmas snapshot. greetings we have ever seen, was - that of a musieaily inclined family- of five. It represented a bar of music,, with the notes consisting of a swap-- • shot,pontrait of each member of the. family, each face in profile, the month open and head uplifted as if' singing. The card reproduced above offers another suggestion not difficult to, execute. "Yon simply letter your.. greeting on a piece of papers leaving space for a name, paste the paper+ t yi,,'` on the selected print and have your photo finisher makea copy negative . ofit.From this copy negative have hini make as man ' tir y prints as • you. need. Then in the space. left for it you letter "Aunt Mary" or whatever the name of the person to whom you wish to send the card. But thinks up your own ideas—test.. your originality. There is a lot of satisfaction in being told by your friends that yours was "the most original Christmas greeting I have ever received—and that snapshot is you all over." JOHN VAN GUILDER.
