This is Real Life

It's that time of year when pretty Christmas cards fill the mailbox.  The photos are glossy, the children are smiling and everything looks perfect.  I wonder how that is even possible.  Are they photoshopped?  How can everyone else get their kids to look at the camera at the same time?  IF I decide to send out a card this year you can bet my photos won't be glossy, with everyone smiling and photoshopped perfect.  This is real life or at least my real life:

And Merry Christmas to you!
