is this tacky???

[carron81]

hi

called my friend earlier tonight but she wasn't in so i spoke to her mum

i was apologising for not sending out an xmas card as i was planning to put a picture of my daughter in the card in an outfit i'd ordered from mamas and papas. it was that 'Mary Christmas' outfit

I explained to her that i'd ordered it ages ago and as i'd moved and had to do the house up in 8 days it slipped my mind that the order hadn't arrived. by the time i chased the order up it was to late to get pictures ordered to send in the cards so i'll wait till the new year

her response was don't tell Pam about the outfit she'll think its tacky (pam = friend i'd called to speak to) then her mum went on to say.... its not that one from mamas and papas!!!

i was shocked so laughed it off saying its her first xmas.

what do you think? i think its cute getting a little outfit for their first christmas

if it had arrived on time she would've got good use out of it as its more like and over coat so would've used it most of December and also she had 2 xmas parties to go to .

Very tacky~Sorry but you did ask!
The outfit's OK,but in a Christmas card,I don't think so.

What are these people? fashion police for babies?

You dress your baby in whatever you like - I am sure that she would have looked very cute!

Doesn't sound like much of a friend to me That wouldn't appreciate a picture of her friends baby regardless of what the baby was wearing.

Anyway, isn't tacky the new black?

[carron81]

yeah, just a nice wee picture inside a xmas card as i live 14 hours on a boat from all my friends and family so they've all my friends have only seen her once and its the only time of the year i post something out to someone and since its christmas its quite fitting for her in her little christmas party outfit

[terambulan]

sounds a right bitch....wouldn't bother sending her a card!

[carron81]

[pinktwink]

hey carron 14 hours on a boat do you live on an island

[glenis]

isn't that what christmas is for? everything about christmas is tacky !!!! so feel free to be as tacky as you like as it is the one time of the year everyone can get away with it !!! :-)

hello carron, I just seached for mary on the mamas and papas website and saw a little suit of red top with white collar and stripey leggings - is this the one? If so, I think it is really cute and I most certainly would appreciate a photo like this of a friends baby I hardly ever see!!! I cant believe how mean your friend's mum was!!! Hope you and your little one have a beautiful, memorable first christmas together!!!!

I have a treasured photo of my little girl aged three months, she is wearing a red top and tartan trousers, and sat on my brothers lap, he is wearing a santa outfit. My dad is next to them and they are all roaring with laughter - it is a fantastic photo!!

lots of love.
xx

carron,it's gorgeous and cute and you've no need to explain anything to your so called friend. Send her a blank card!

[delboy81]

you obviously have no family mr veritas

most folk would love to get a small picture of a baby in her party outfit if they've only see her the once. what a nice token gesture to folk that dont get to see her

god..... what is the world coming to when folk cant appriciate a cute picture of a baby at christmas.

[pastafreak]

I was expecting something really awful......but that is very sweet. Ignore your friend.....its how your baby looks to YOU that is important.

[carron81]

yeah, live on an island. wish it was in the med but its not!!!

exactly sara3, i just wanted to have a cute wee outfit as she had 3 parties and there were elves, rudolphs etc their so she wasn't the only one.


agree with you glenis, its all about cheezy tunes, being a big kid and all that

yeah, thats the outfit philipa. i think it'll be great for her to look back in years to come and she'll be like god mum what have you got me in!!!

[Mr Veritas]

delboy81,
carron did ask, and I only said putting it in a Christmas card was tacky,NOT the outfit.
BTW
I am 85,and we have
4 children,
12 grandchildren
and 8 Gt grandchildren,
AND one Gt~Gt Grandchild (on the way) expected March.
Thank goodness we go to one of them for Christmas,they wouldn't all fit in our small house.

Aww bless carron that is a really cute outfit!! and a nice idea to put a picture of your daughter in said outfit in all your christmas cards esp as you live so far away from friends and family.

Just remember it was your friends Mum who said that not your friend and for all you know your friend may have received the picture and thought how cute your daughter looked and not tacky at all, the Mum should be a bit embaressed about what she said tho.

Have a great Christmas :o)

[DaisyMae]

I bet your'e the life and soul of the party Mr. Veritas!!

I love the idea of sending a picture of a child in a Christmas card - Christmas is about and for children and it is the most natural of things. I would far rather receive a picture of a friend's baby than one of vicious little robins or lumbering reindeer -lol. Well done Carron, a lovely baby in a sweet outfit - couldn't be better.

Happy Christmas all.

Wouldn't a picture of the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes be more appropiate?
