Each year as I travel, I try to take a few photos that might make iconic Christmas card covers. Sometimes they are obvious, sometimes not so. Here are a few from the past travel years that have appeared on my Christmas cards. You can click on a photo to enlarge it.

This has been part of Travel Photo Thursday. To see more photos from around the world, go to Budget Travelers’ Sandbox. (This is also my first experiment with the WordPress Photo Gallery. What do you think? I wish I could control the size of captions.)
Merry Christmas to you! The stained glass at Notre Dame is my favorite. Looking at your photos, I wish I had more of mine with me.
It is a great joy to look back photos, M. I’m hope you’ll get reunited with yours one of these days. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
This is a lovely collection of scenic shots. What a great idea for Christmas cards. I love the Greece shots! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Beautiful photos, Vera. I can see why they made your list.
Love the Tucson sky — so blue, so expansive — and Notre Dame.
Wishing you a very joyful holiday.
These are great Christmas cards. Having just been in Bavaria, I especially like the Hohenswangau Castle photo. Merry Christmas, Vera!
Thank you, Vera, for another year of inspiring posts. Enjoy the spirit of the season!
You’re most welcome, Germaine, but without authors like you, what would I have to write about?
Very nice photos, Vera Marie. I especially like the endless Tuscon sky. Happy Christmas to you and your family 🙂
Hi Sophie: Ironic, isn’t it that one of my favorite photos in this travel series turns out to be just down the block from my house? Merry Christmas to you and stay warm. Keep lots of lights on to fight off the Winter blues, too!
Beautiful! Happy Holidays!!! Wish you many safe and beautiful travels in 2013!
Merry Christmas to you and Ken! Hope the coming year is filled with wonderful new adventures for you two. And thanks for keeping me with a stack of book recommendations throughout the year!
Thanks, Jackie. I imagine you’ll be traveling more than we will in the coming year, but I’ll try to keep the books coming. And thanks right back for the suggestions you leave to make my to be read pile grow.
thanks for the lovely photos, and the memories of your travels you share through them. wishing you and Ken a happy and peaceful holiday —
Thanks, Kerry, and a musical Christmas and New Year to you!
