OK all you creative types -- I need a caption for my Christmas Card. The outside of the card will have a black & white photo of my 6 year old daughter leaning against my wife's very pregnant tummy (just the tummy is visible, not my wife's face).

I need something to write inside the card. It should be sweet, maybe funny, appropriate to the season, and suceptible to being copied over and over by me, by hand, into the card.

The winning entry will receive a hearty (virtual) pat on the back, and, if they so desire, a copy of the finished product.

Thanks for any suggestions you might give!

"Very nice, but I really wanted a puppy for Christmas."

Alternate:

"I am never eating watermelon. Ever."

Oh, good, I get to exercise my "cutesy" muscles as hubby refers to them. (He doesn't appreciate this talent at all.)

1) Warmest wishes for the holiday season.

2) I wonder what Santa will bring us this year? Merry Christmas.

These are a couple off the top of my head. I'm sure you'll get more to choose from. Good luck.

"This woman is smuggling beach balls. But don't worry; I'll make sure she doesn't get across the border.

Oh, and by the way--merry Christmas."
