I'm not very photogenic and usually hate any pics of myself, especially taken unawares, and I know the press have always delighted in printing unflattering pics of Cherie but for goodness sake, I presume they had control of what went out in their name.
If Cherie's right hand were not on TB's chest I'd say that she was squeezing his balls!
I think it is a spoof, someone has been sending out a photo of their Madame Tussaud wax models and pretending the Christmas cards are really from the Blairs.
Worryingly I rather like Ed Milliband's card which is just a nice picture of them playing with the children. It's when people start "posing" that it all goes horribly wrong.
I once received a photo card of some children I know dressed as Mary (with doll), Joseph and an angel. It was really delightful. Their costumes were nighties and tea towels and the angel was jumping up in the air. It looked as if they were having lots of fun. Apart from that I wouldn't be impressed. All the party leaders' card photos were shown in yesterday's Telegraph.
I really can't understand why people send Christmas cards with photos of themselves. I thought Christmas was all about the birth of Christ, Angels, Shepherds, Kings, Bells, Churches etc.. Why on earth do they think anyone in their right mind would want that on their mantlepiece
