Forbidden to post: the photos that cannot be with Christmas

Your annual obligations include annual snapshots, right? The gourmet set comes out, we take a Christmas walk with the family, and the visit to grandma and grandpa is also on the Christmas checklist. Keep those clichés in, but do try to vary the images you upload. What we actually don't want to see anymore:

Clinging for the Christmas lump

The tree is up, she looks her best for Christmas, and he has also dusted off his Jack & Jones shirt for the occasion. Dog included, kiss included, champagne included, and there you have the shot that three-quarters of the Dutch population throws onto their timeline. Please don't.

The ugly Christmas sweater

I think there are two teams. Team 1: disciples who almost regret that an ugly Christmas sweater can only be worn one week a year. Team 2 (of which I am a member) with the motto: no ugly Christmas sweater on my body. So it's no surprise that I'm not really fond of Christmas sweater photos (not even if you customize it by popping out a boob like Zimra).

Nice skating on the Museumplein

I can be very brief about this: actually, I'd rather not see overused photos on the ice rink in front of the Rijksmuseum. Skating is of course allowed, it's actually fun, as long as you leave the snapshots off Instagram.

All fun of course, that I'm criticizing those photos, but then you want a suggestion. Here they come:

  1. Christmas sweaters: yuck, but I think a Christmas pajama is really cute. Sweet bun, slippers on, and then giving each other a gift in front of the tree with your bestie. Pin it to your bulletin board.
  2. If suggestion number 1 has caused a crack in your enamel, then recreating the nativity scene with the whole family might be more your thing. Including the crib.
  3. Don't let there be any misunderstanding about the fact that photos on the ice rink are completely unacceptable. Skating, mittens, hot chocolate, and in my case a chair to cling to are super fun props for a winter wonderland vibe. But then on a frozen canal or lake.
  4. Make sure you have a Polaroid camera next to your dessert spoon during the Christmas dinner. Spontaneous, analog photos with a vintage touch, nothing beats that.
