Scrapbooking Your Christmas Memories
Christmas memories are some of our fondest, most heartwarming
ones. So of course we want to preserve them in our scrapbook
albums. However, when the hustle and bustle of the holiday
season is upon us, we may forget to take particular photos or
save certain memorabilia. To help you remember, below is a list
of Christmas memories and keepsakes you'll want to capture in
your scrapbook album.
Cutting Down the Tree For those who get their trees from a tree
farm, cutting down the tree is a favorite Christmas activity.
Take pictures of the tree before, during and after the cutting.
Journal about who picked out the tree, where you got the tree
and what the weather was like that day.
Trimming the Tree Whether your tree is real or artificial,
trimming the tree is a special event. Take pictures of the tree
in various stages of being decorated. Include people hanging
their favorite ornaments, putting on the star or angel, and
posing with the fully decorated and lit tree.
Deck the Halls In addition to the tree, you probably have lots
of other Christmas decorations throughout the house. Take photos
of the foyer, staircase, dining room or any other room you've
spruced up for the holidays. If you have outdoor displays and
lights, remember to take pictures of them, too.
Traditions We all have our own Christmas traditions such as
baking cookies, going caroling, or hosting the neighborhood
party. Make sure to capture these special traditions with
photos. Keep in mind that journaling is especially important
when it comes to traditions. For example, include your family's
cookie recipe or some of the words from a favorite Christmas
carol.
Letters to Santa/Christmas Lists If you have children who write
Christmas lists and/or letters to Santa, make copies before
mailing them so that they can be preserved in your scrapbook
album. You, your children and your grandchildren will surely
enjoy reading those letters together one day.
'Twas the Night Before Christmas Here are some ideas of what to
take pictures of on Christmas Eve: the family dinner; a
gathering of family and friends; everyone dressed in
their
"Sunday best" for Christmas Eve mass; stockings hung by the
chimney with care; snack/drink/note left for Santa and his
reindeer. If Santa leaves the note behind, remember to save it
for the scrapbook album.
Christmas Morning If you have young children Christmas morning
can be quite chaotic, and it may not be easy to get certain
shots. Some to try for are: the kids coming down the stairs
and/or into the room with the tree; the tree before all the
gifts go flying; the full stockings hanging by the fireplace;
everyone with his/her favorite gift; the family breakfast.
Christmas Visiting Whether you're traveling over the river and
through the woods or hosting at home, it's hard to get pictures
of everyone you're celebrating with. Try for a whole group photo
(if the group's not too big) or break it down into smaller
groups: the grandparents with the grandchildren; the
grandparents with their own children; the men/boys; the
women/girls; three or more generations; a photo of each family.
Remember to include everyone's name in your journaling.
Christmas Card and Newsletter Particularly if your Christmas
card has a picture of your family or children on it, be sure to
put it in your scrapbook album. You may also want to include any
special cards you received - for example, a baby's first
Christmas card from Grandma and Grandpa. And if you write an
annual newsletter to send out with your Christmas cards, put a
copy of the newsletter in your scrapbook album as well.
Christmas Portraits The holidays tend to be a time for
formal/professional portraits: family portraits, portraits of
the children, and the traditional picture with Santa. If you
saved your children's letters to Santa, you can make a two-page
spread of the letters along with the picture of the children on
Santa's lap.
Keep this Christmas list of scrapbooking ideas handy during the
holiday season, and you'll be sure to capture those precious
Christmas memories. If you need any page layout ideas, visit

and Happy Scrapping!
