The two on the left are my mother (the baby) with her mother, grandfather and great grandmother (top left), and mother, grandmother, and great grandmother (bottom left). The one in the middle is me, my daughter, my husband, my granddaughter and my great grandson. Top right is me, my mother holding my granddaughter, and my daughter. On the bottom middle right is me, my grandfather, my daughter and my mother, and the bottom right is my grandmother, my great grandfather, me as a baby and my mother.
One of these days I'll have to figure out what my "style" is..
I haven't got any idea what to photograph for this challenge.
Panasonic Lumix 10x DMC-TZ3 :photo

I thought the directive, "Make sure that your image can definately show celebrating in progress!" means the image must show people actively celebrating something since inanimate objects cannot celebrate anything. I have noticed that the majority of entries in the challenge gallery have no people. So...do these other photos fit the theme or is it just me and my interpretation thinking they don't???????
(Not trying to stir trouble....just really want to know.)

Yes I noticed that many interpreted it differently then what was written. It will be up to those voting to decide whether it fits the theme or not.
It was the same with the fall colors one, where some areas of the world do not have any fall, and some were having spring and fall hadn't come to some areas yet. It was really unfair to a large number of people.
I really think you need to have more compassion for those of us that aren't in the north east US with large families gathered at Xmas. And also be more clear with the instructions. I totally missed that I had to have people in it, and I suspect that a lot of other people did too. A much clearer title would help. People's Celebrations for instance would have done the trick.
