1. Take a photograph of someone in their pajamas, robe or slippers!
2. Construct a pyramid in front of the Christmas tree. It can be two people, 3 people & the dog, 5 people. Be sure no one falls!
3. Have your mailman, UPS delivery guy or girl, Fed Ex or mail delivery person take a self portrait of themselves. Their uniform must be visible or their truck.
4. Send me your self portrait and then take your camera and 2 signs. One that says "Naughty" and one that says "Nice" and take a photograph of 3 random people holding the sign they choose. Random is always good.
5. Take a self portrait. With two pieces of tape secure the photo on paper and then write a Dear Santa list. We want to know 3 things you want for Christmas. We don't care what you do to create it.
6. Wrap yourself or somebody up in Christmas lights. Make sure it's dark, turn them on and take a snapshot.
