[edit] Annual formal family photo

The Huntsman family has a tradition which may be common amongst large, rich, American families - I thought I would share here in case it was deemed worthy enough to be in the article.

Each Christmas, my uncle-in-law receives a christmas card with a photo of the entire Huntsman family. When I say entire, I mean Jon Huntsman, Sr and his wife; their nine children, and their spouses; and grandchildren (eight of the nine families have four or more children). Apart from the logistics of getting this many people (about 80-90 I think) in one place at the one time, all the males are dressed in the same formal-ish outfit, as are all the females. Outfits are different each year. Each card has the full photo on the front, and an annotated (outlined, with numbers) diagram and list of names on the inside. My uncle isn't a close friend or anything - he is a senior engineer at a bootmaking company in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia - I think the link is some distant business acquaintance - leading me to believe they send out thousands of these things.

Obviously this is an expensive deal, and when I did some googling to find that Jon Huntsman Sr is a billionaire businessman, and Jon Huntsman Jr is Governor of Utah, I realised the cost is no big deal for them, even taking into account buying/making all the matching outfits, and flying people from across the US for it.

Is this kind of thing weird or unusual enough to warrant mentioning in the article? -- Chuq 09:42, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
