The Snow family found a festive way to deliver their Christmas cards - by horse and carriage.
Nina Snow dressed up as Mary Christmas while husband Gary drove their carriage - pulled by their horse Artful Dodger.
Artful Dodger even got into the spirit of things too by donning a pair of antlers.
Children waved and shouted as the pair drove through Little Clacton, Frinton and Kirby.
Mrs Snow, 34, of Halstead Road, Kirby-le-Soken, said her friends were impressed by the effort they made.
