2023 52 Card Project: Week 52: Christmas
This week's collage isn't a collage--just a picture. And not a very good one either--the people pictured are distracted and a bit tired-looking, rather than smiling at the camera, but I was so busy getting Christmas brunch on the table that I didn't have time to get a good one. Eh, whatever. This brunch with the girls and their partners was held later in the week. Eric joined me Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, but I didn't get good pictures for that, either.
Maybe it's the fact that it's a holiday week, or that I still have a Covid cough hanging on. It was a satisfactory Christmas, but I don't have a kick-ass collage to show for it. I thought of adding closeups of a few other elements--the Nutella Star pastry, or the candlesticks that belonged to my grandmother, that will be turning 100 years old this year. But they didn't quite work, and in the end I decided not to. One thing that the girls and I assured each other this year was that we wouldn't worry about having a picture-perfect Christmas. And because this collage project has been running for several years, I can be okay with a week that isn't as strong.
I plan to continue with the collage project next year. I am considering whether to do landscape orientation collages rather than portrait orientation. I will loosen my rule, allowing more than one word in the title.

David prepares the turkey and makes his family's stuffing recipe every year, and I have a succession of photos of him doing it that, over any five-year period, mostly differ in what shirt he's wearing. But I didn't get any this year. We were still there, though.
I think a landscape orientation would be very interesting and might open up more possibilities to your creative mind. But I guess it's a break in consistency -- which can be a good thing but is sometimes hard to get past.
