Mommy Kisses Santa Claus Card

I am a single Mom. I have been since the moment I conceived and I wanted to send out a special photo greeting last Christmas to commemorate my son's first Christmas.

After hemming and hawing I broke into our Christmas boxes a little early and bought a very large stocking at the dollar store. Once my then 9 month old son fell asleep I put him into the stocking and set a string of lights around him and added some baulbles. It took a few tries to get the exposure right, and once I had the picture I wanted I needed a quote or cute Christmas saying...

I chose "This is what happens when Mommy kisses Santa Claus" because, as I said, I am and always have been a single Mommy. So it seemed like a cute idea.

The cards were such a big hit that now I'm having trouble coming up with an idea for this Christmas!
