When you're going to a special holiday event, remember to keep your camera with you and bring enough film and extra batteries. Consider wearing an outfit with pockets, so you can carry a spare roll of film as you socialize.

When you want to capture action, take several pictures in quick succession rather than just one. This strategy is more likely to yield several great pictures.

If you're hosting a holiday event, consider buying several, inexpensive Kodak one-time-use cameras. Scatter them around and invite your guests to take pictures. This not only yields more photos, it also adds to the fun.
