Do you have a holiday scrap book?

[Spinning]

This is something I so want to do but never seem to have the time! I bought a CM album back when I first started to scrap. I had this vision during the Christmas holiday it would be out and everyone would look through it and see all the changes...but needless to say I think I did 2 pages and stopped!
So do you have one or do you just put Christmas in with your other albums?

I do both. I have a CM Christmas album--the navy blue one with the gifts on the front. I do a double page spread for each year (although I must admit, I'm a year behind right now. . .must get to that!!). In that book, I just do the "highlights", since we have 3 different Christmas celebrations. In our family album, I do layouts for each celebration.

I have a CM christmas album too for a 2 page spread of each year. But I think I'm about 5 years behind. someone motivate me!!!!!!! LOL

I have the green 12 x 12 CM album with the embroidered holly on the front, and shockingly, it's up to date. I wonder how that happened.

So how do you choose the pictures for the layouts? is it themed? I have the CM green one.
I like the idea of 2 page spread but I can't imagine how I would do that. So what do you put in it?
We always have a family picture so that is a must, visit with santa, we do our living nativity with the church...then all the other stuff.

and I am so excited!

I do 2 page spreads for my family, dh's family & friends of our Christmas celebrations.

mine are just in with the other random stuff. I think this year though I'm going to do a 6x6 "decade of santa visits" book, it sounds like a fun idea, who knows if I'll actually get to it. Usually our christmas pictures are the santa visit, decorating the tree, dd with the expanding (very rapidly I might add) collection of nutcrackers, the build a bear bribery trip after seeing santa and christmas eve/morning. Depending on how many of those are "good" pictures, the christmas section can be pretty large in the book.

I have the green CM album and I've put in all the Christmasses since DS(13) was born. Some of them I don't have a lot of photos - one year he was rather poorly - and so I do pad it with pics form the school Christmas production, or putting up the tree. I also started doing St Nicholas as well, as we have that on 6 December. I'm up to date only because it was the first one I did, more or less.

I too have the green CM one (has the wreath on the front). I usually do four sides (two, 2 page spreads) per year. I always get the kids' picture taken at Target, Sears, etc. and the pic. w/ Santa. Then I do highlights of everything else: present opening, school program, etc.

I have 2 CM Christmas albums and I'm starting my 2nd one this year... My first one goes from Christmas 2000-Christmas 2006 ( I take way too many pictures!!! ) and it's bulging so I took out the other one I bought 2 yrs ago when I was a consultant and I'll start that one this year

I also have a small 7" x 7" that I do for Halloween too just to keep tabs on what our girls were each year for Halloween
