Christmas & New year have a special place in our hearts. Around our household, we have the official festive season from September last week to February 2nd week. In these 5 odd months, we celebrate all our birthdays, our marriage anniversary, a lot of fun festivals, not to mention Christmas & New Year. This year, it is even more special because we have 2 noisy, hilarious & rowdy kids to share and multiply our joy.
We wish you a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
I also want to tell you that how much thankful I am to you. Without you, I wouldn’t be spending this holiday season with my family. Because you find me useful, and support me thru your visits, purchases, comments & enthusiasm to learn that I have the courage to leave my day job to embark on this exciting journey called chandoo.org. Thank you.
About this year’s Christmas Card:
If you have ever tried to photograph a child, you know how difficult it is to capture the perfect moment. Now imagine capturing the perfect moment for twins. After numerous attempts to get a perfect family photo where all 4 of us are smiling, we gave up. Instead, this year, we picked the most-un-synchronized photo. None of us gave a good pose, and yet, we are happier than ever. 🙂
A Special Holiday Gift for you
