Cards w/ Pictures of the Kids
I personally find these types of "cards" annoying.
I'm talking about the type of card that's not actually a card, just a photograph of the senders' kids.
We get about 6-10 of these a year, some even throw in a "roundtable" letter.

Apparently the standard excuse for this kind of thing is "she's getting on a bit and don't forget she was raised in the mid west during the great depression".
