Over the years we have done annual holiday cards for organisations I work for. (Most organizations and companies try to go for a generic holiday card but Christmas imagery is hard to avoid.)

Probably my most 'Not Safe For Work' post ever.
I was at Mother in Law's. (The restaurant, not the person.)
And it's such an innocuous eatery until you get to the menu...
Let's just say it was a vegetarian evening. :)
