Holiday pictures
I should have asked this question years ago, but I’ve always just kind of winged it in the past. I bring it up because I’m processing some November pictures and discovered two original artwork submissions for Halloween. One the one hand, I like to have a Halloween picture up on the site on Halloween (fireworks on 4th of July, etc), but on the other hand, that pretty much limits enjoyment of the picture as a desktop to a single day.
So, I ask you, how early should I post holiday pictures?
a) day of
b) day before
c) up to a week before
d) more than a week before
Feel free to vary your answers by holiday. And honestly, the holidays for which I typically get submissions are only Valentine’s Day, Independence Day, Halloween, and Christmas, though submissions are always welcome for other commemorations.
As a corollary, do you enjoy Fall landscapes during the Spring or Summer? How much should I try to post seasonal pictures within their seasons?
And if you’re paying attention, yes, this does mean that posting of some pictures gets delayed by a full year (or even two back when submissions were heavy) in order to hit their holiday.
