Unique Christmas Card ideas?

Stressing over this years card. Can't seem to get a decent picture of my boys for this years card. Anyone have a unique card idea?

We've done pictures while on vacation, pjs in front of the Christmas tree - did that when they were little and again last year at 16, 13, 11 and 8--cute!

Outside in front of a natural area? Beach, wooded area, park, fountain, in front of the fireplace, outdoor or indoor Christmas display? I always take a series of several 8 to 10 and then weed down to the best one.

Or if you can't get one good one of them together do individual pictures of the kids and put on same card.

Or maybe some cute caption with the least bad of the bad or ask the kids to pose pouting or something and say "Bah Humbug" or something like that.

We did a top 10 list one with with no picture. It was a very eventful year so it was easy to come up with a top 10, but everyone - young to old absolutely loved it and two years later I still get told by people that it still is their very favorite card.

Oh I like that last one! I'll have to remember that...

This year I was going to use a photo from our surprise trip next week. But then my artistic daughter drew a wonderful picture of a snowman and some animals and that is now our card this year.

Maybe a card of a photo collage of each of the kids taken over the course of the year?

Last year we went to a local spot that had photos with a reindeer. So we took a picture of all of us leaning in with a hand to our ear like the deer was talking. On the front of the card it read: Do you hear what I hear? And the inside read: Donner says if you forget to leave carrots with the cookies, he's leaving a surprise on your roof!
