  • people have come to expect a really great card from us.

  • I think we've come to the point now.

  • It's like, Oh my gosh, we can't let them down My husband and I have always loved Christmas.

  • We've always gone big with celebrating it, But when we had our daughter nine years ago, we started getting a bit more creative with the Christmas cards, and every year it got a little bit crazier and a little bit crazier, and then it became a huge production.

  • Uh, my husband and I have always been into film.

  • We even had a film themed wedding back when we got married in 2000 and five.

  • So I think it was only natural that eventually our cards would turn towards the more filmic, uh, ideas.

  • I'm actually a professional photographer, so you know, I've got the makeup contacts I've got, the people who could make the costumes and style and whatnot.

  • Year we did Game of Thrones.

  • I think that that was mhm, definitely one of my favorites.

  • And that was back when we hadn't seen the last season yet, and, uh, it was all very, very big.

  • My husband's makeup took 7.5 hours to Dio.

  • So because he was the Night King, he wore it for literally, like 10 minutes.

  • And then it all came off again.

  • S I think the tradition of doing this card has definitely felt more important this year.

  • We've been talking about doing this.

  • Where's Wally style idea for a while, and it just felt like the right year to do it because we put loads of little references to what's been going on this year.

  • In the card, you have to count the toilet paper rolls and and there's an NHS sign on top of the tree.

  • And you know, even Sir Thomas More is in it as well.

  • We put him in there.

  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

  • She's in there, too.

  • I've said that it's both a baby sitter and a card because the kids have just been looking at it for ages and trying to find all the things in it.

  • And I love that.

  • I love that.

  • We've been able to reach out and do this for people.

  • Last year, what we wanted to do for our Christmas card was a Christmas carol, and our big idea was that we were going to try to get a celebrity to be in the card.

  • And so we approached David Tennant to be in the card.

  • Hi, David.

  • With the dog way made a little video, and we have a friend who knows them.

  • So she sent it to them, and, uh and he said, Thank you, but busier than the Kardashians.

  • So I don't really have time right now, but what we've done is every year now, our plan is to put him in our cards somehow.

  • So one year, I think I think David's really gonna have Thio come and actually be in our card.

  • David Tennant, be in our card next year, please.
