JustJudy , Here's an example. This is a blogger I follow. It's a beautiful picture and I love her dress- but I just don't understand the point. It looks silly to me- why is she just standing in the snow in a gown?!

I keep picturing my husband getting home, seeing me in a gown like this, and asking what the occasion is? And me saying..."Oh, just getting ready for our Christmas pictures...I have your suit laid out upstairs, can you get ready so we can take these?"

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Want to XP this on Throat Punch Thursday on 3TIF.

Dying pinkcat. When you said that she was the first person I thought of. I've honestly never seen anyone IRL do this. Just bloggers who think they're amazing. Pretty sure her older sister does this too. So maybe just their family lol.

Yes I've seen pictures of her sisters doing it too! And quite a few other bloggers, but luckily never anyone I actually know. Speaking of Pink Peonies, the pictures of her tree or her house or closet. It's beautiful, but looks SO staged and like they are living in a magazine at all times rather than a house. I am a little jealous of her kitchen, though!

pinkcat I follow someone who posted similar engagement pictures...they were decked out in super fancy gowns & suits on CA beach cliffs, with blue steel faces, not looking at each other, not a single smile or embrace. So awkward that you chose to go Vogue for engagement photos!
UO: fake tree all day. Never had a real one once in my entire life.

I don't like Elf, Lampoons' Christmas (or whatever it's called), or A Christmas Story. All horrible movies. And all absolute favorites to seemingly the entire population.
DH loves Christmas Vacation and made me watch it. I appreciate that now I can get the references, but no desire to watch it again. And I've never even seen A Christmas Story.
Related UO: I did not like Love Actually.
I was stalking Parenting yesterday and found out that many don't like Love Actually over there! I don't think it's very Christmas-y

Oh, I totally thought everyone was going to tell me I was broken - this is good to know!

I'll admit - that's a beautiful picture. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would.

I have never heard of her before, I am looking through her blog now, is she just a rich chic that takes pictures of her fancy stuff? She is super hot and has gorgeous stuff, but my lord how exhausting to look that good and keep your surroundings that tidy. I kind of feel like Pig Pen now #conservewaterstaydirty

pinkcat, I have to say I love that picture. I could not see MH getting behind that type of photo (or any professional photos actually) but if I had my way, I'd wear ballgowns on a regular basis.
I also feel a tinge of jealously when people post RTR stuff... The dresses are so pretty, and I wish I had an occasion to dress up!

I attribute this to the Kardashians. (Probably not their fault I just blame them for everything) They do that glamorous holiday photo every year but when they started it was sweet and normal looking! The bigger they get the more glamorous it becomes.
I think the pictures are beautiful. Some people choose to take their Christmas pictures wearing ugly sweaters, sitting in front of the tree, and some choose to go all out.
Meh, I give no fucks about what people choose to do for THEIR pictures.
I'm on board with this. The pictures are gorgeous and if that's what they wanted to do then who cares. I have seen way stranger photographs anyway.
The rest of her life/blog plus this makes me raise my eyebrows. But in general I think do whatever.
Going with the Christmas UOs, I don't get the trend of really fancy family Christmas pictures. So many of the people I follow on Instagram and Facebook are sharing their holiday pictures with their families and the women are outside in the snow in legit ballgowns. Like, floor length, full of sequins, etc. I mean I think the dresses are beautiful and I love dressing up too, but to stand outside in one just to get an Instagram worthy pic seems like DEFINITE overkill.
Another person is doing something attention whore-y and over the top that involves a photographer?

I had a much poofier version of ballgown in mind when she originally described it.

Add me to the list of people who get insanely jealous over RTR posts. I will seriously never in my life need such fancy dresses. I wish I did sometimes!

hippo, well that's bizarre!! Isn't she pregnant again? I wonder if "Winter" is the new baby? Otherwise I have no clue what's going with the whole wolf head winter thing (well among everything else too)?

Me too!!
This girl just posted on theknot how she rented a $4000 gold gown for her dad's birthday party and it's so pretty she's going to rent it again as her wedding gown. I'm like holy crap, I have never been to a birthday party like that...

Maybe they're just huge GoT nerds.
That makes sense since I've never seen that show lol
If we're talking chains then Qdoba > Chipotle, but really I prefer a local taqueria for my burrito needs.
I'll take all the snow please. But it really only takes a couple of inches to shut down Seattle, so that's all I need to justify a snow day.
I love all Christmas movies.
UO: I hate the song "Baby It's Cold Outside".
Seattle handles snow so badly... but not as badly as some of the southern cities I've been to. Our Nashville office went into a total panic and closed the office at 10am the day before an ice storm was expected and announced it would be closed the next day too. They were all upset because an inch of ice was expected. Which, OK, is a lot of ice. But at least like, wait and see if it happens?
Anyway, it ended up being that the ice storm didn't happen but they still had to pay people for 2 days of cancelled work. Aaaaand we almost got fined by the government for not having our call center open. It was fun.
