What photos do you take during Christmas?

It's already December! Almost everyone is so excited for the most wonderful time of the year. I just can't wait to be with my whole family, eat the delicious food for "Noche Buena", and give gifts and receive if there's something for me.

One of the things that I love to do during Christmas is to take candid pictures of my family or take a family portrait with smiles on. I also love taking selfies with the glow that Christmas lights give.

How about you, what are the things that you love to capture during Christmas?

I always take family pictures! My siblings and I live away from home and we get to be complete only once a year. Christmas is a beautiful holiday where we can spend quality time with our family, and it is always great to document everything. I also take photos of the food, just because they look good.

The same goes with me. My Christmas serves us a reunion for family and relatives too. I enjoy taking selfies under the Christmas tree. Sometimes, we travel to other places and what I look forward are the colorful Christmas lights.

I think that's a given. It's really something when you get to gather all your missing family members. It's usually a whole year before you get to see them again. This especially true for relatives who lived outside your country.

It makes their photographs together more special.

Yes, it reminds us of the true purpose of Christmas. We're celebrating the joy of Christ's birth. It's not about buying expensive gifts and shopping. Knowing this makes our celebration more fruitful and special.

It is very nice to take pictures when the family comes together. And since you always be together those pics are great remembrance.

I too would take a lot of pictures of my Family. This is a merry season and it would be a shame if we do not take hold of it. I wish to take a family photo especially at dinner time on Noche Buena.

And that's what I do too. Usually, my mom can get really annoying taking hundreds of pictures, but for me just some pictures of family gathered together, are more than enough. I like to take pictures of the kids while they're opening the gifts, and just like you, I like to take pictures of the food, specially the desserts and sweets.

Any photos of the family together celebrating the Christmas season. Photos of old friends that you haven't seen for a long time during the get together of former classmates which mostly done during Christmas. Photos of delicious foods that families share together at the dining table. These are not just photos, these are memories.

I take a lot of pictures of the decorations and all the lights! It takes a lot of effort and hard work to decorate for Christmas most of the time mall decors change every year so it's nice keeping a souvenir of how Christmas looked like at a certain year. Another subject of course of my Christmas album is my family.

Hahaha, my father would love to have you around. He's the one that always make the decorations, because he loves Christmas so much, but usually we don't pay all the attention he wants, so if he had someone like you taking pictures of all his work, he would delighted. We don't have a Christmas album, but I think he would make us put all those decoration pictures for sure.

I think during Christmas we are having a family picture so that we will have a souvenir as time goes by. It is really good to take so much pictures during Christmas because people are celebrating much and it is the time where we can make a lot of great shots. I usually save those photos to my social media accounts so that I will have something back up whenever my mobile phone experience some problems.

We all know that Christmas is one of the main event before the year ends.

We have a tradition here in our place to take a photo with a big Christmas tree during a lighting event. The families would gather into the place and take photos with their love ones. We also take pictures during fireworks display. It's so cool and romantic at the same time to have a fireworks background with your family, friends or special one.

I don't take photos anymore. I don't have a camera. My kids have camera phones. I'm happy to see any photographs they take showing how much they are enjoying the holidays. But I don't want to be in them. I've gotten old and I've lost my teeth. I don't really be in photographs anymore. I won't even take a picture for the church directory at the congregation where I am a very devoted member.

Totally get it, because sometimes I feel like that, even when I'm on my 30's, but I do it just for fun. You have to take pics with your family and friends, because you're alive and healthy. This is the time to make memories with them. They will treasure those pictures with you, and they will remember the moment, and all the fun you guys were having. Doesn't matter how you look, the main thing is to keep the spirit.

You know that's very true. I remember when my mother passed away and I started looking through the album at her pictures. Having seen her in the casket, she didn't really look like my mother. You know? But her photographs looked like my mom. I remember one of my brothers saying "Mom looks really pretty now, doesn't she?" I knew what he meant. I had seen those pictures lots of time before she passed away. But when I looked at them again after she died, there was a brightness in her eyes, a glow to her skin, etc. She looked very pretty! She looked ... ALIVE and full of the joy of life!

That's what I'm talking about. It took quite some years to my mom, to get over with my grandma's death, and one of the things that helped her out, was to see all the pictures we had with her, and see how happy she looked. So, she understood our granny had a great life, full of beautiful family moments, and you could see it by her look in the pictures.

I suppose you will be able to understand me Steve, but the whole catch of Christmas is to have those decorations and setup in a snowy background. Without the snow it feels just wrong and different. Cant imagine what is it like to have Christmas in a country without snow.

Christmas is the most awaited time of the year for most of us. Christmas displays spirit of love, sharing, giving, forgiveness, unity and joy. There's a lot of wonderful moments to be captured during that season. But like most of us, one of the best moments to be captured is a family portrait full of love and joy in their faces.
