There's one way to ensure your Christmas card this year is treasured forever. Slap little junior (or juniorette) in a baby Christmas costume.
It's unexpected. It's adorable. A crowd-pleaser for everyone. (Except maybe the occasional Scrooge.)
Besides, this is the year to do it. Your infant is helpless to fight against any forced costuming.
Now's the time to torture them with adorable outfits you can immortalize with Christmas cards sprinkled all around the world. They'll thank you later. (Maybe)
Don't squander this perfect opportunity! Here are some of the cutest baby Christmas costumes you've ever seen.
Tom Arma is the Armani of costume designers. Not only are his designs handmade, which means they last for generations, not just years, they are hands down the most adorable baby Christmas costumes out there.
Since they are not mass produced, their stock is limited. When they're out, they're out until the following year.
The infant Christmas costume isn't all Tom Arma is known for.
If working a sewing machine is one of your talents (I applaud you, btw), you could also make a baby Christmas costume from scratch with some Hobby Lobby fabric and a good pattern.
In this Simplicity Sewing Pattern,
for example, you can make a pumpkin, bumble-bee or dalmation for Halloween, a Santa for Christmas, and a bunny for Easter just by mixing up the fabric and adding
a few tweaks (Santa doesn't have bunny ears...)
Besides including your precious babe in a baby Christmas costume, here are some other ideas to make your yearly card worth saving:

I use Tiny Prints to chose a gorgeous stylish design, add some adorable photos, upload my mailing list, and schedule the send date.
And then I promptly forget about them...until I get emails or phone calls from friends and family.
If you are still printing, folding, stamping, and licking your annual cards you've got to check them out.
Or, worse yet, if you've stopped sending out Holiday Greetings altogether, tired of all the hassle, it's time to swim in the blessings of 21st Century technology.
