A day for photo albums

Today, and December 5th annually, is Album Day, as in photo albums. The day was established by Nakabayashi Co., Ltd., an information organization product company with its headquarters in Tokyo. They produce, among other things, photo albums and bookbinding products. They chose December 5th for the anniversary because, as December is the last month of the year, people are thinking about their memories from the year and are most likely to think about creating photo albums.

The aim of the commemorative day is to encourage people to make their own albums without putting it off, saying things like "Someday when I have time," "Someday when my kids grow up," or "Someday, someday..." Something I am definitely guilty of. I still haven't made a baby album for my fourth child - she is eleven now! Its so easy to put things like that on the long finger, but having a commemorative day dedicated to making photo albums is a good way of reminding and encouraging people to make some.

Nowadays, it is that bit easier to make photo albums, especially digital ones. Personally, I prefer ones that you can hold in your hand and flip through. They are also easier to make in recent years because you can create them online and have them sent to you. Do you make photo albums often? Which type - digital or hard copy?
