A few years ago, I made a family calendar as Christmas gifts for my relatives. Using an online photo site, I uploaded family photos for each person's birthday, anniversary, holidays, etc. I figured my relatives would enjoy the calendar gifts, but what I didn't count on was the year-long pressure resulting from the calendar.
