Welcome back to Watch Me AI

My weekly note on practical ways to use AI to save time, earn more, and build confidence, without needing to be technical.

This week: my favorite ways to use AI to make the holidays less stressful and more fun.

#1 The digital holiday card

I love holiday traditions. I do not love holiday logistics.

This year, I couldn’t face a physical holiday card. Designing, printing, addressing, mailing, return-to-senders, it was all time and money I didn’t want to spend.

So I tried a different approach: I made our family holiday card as a tiny website, with my favorite AI website builder, Lovable.

Here’s the workflow I used:

1. Started in ChatGPT - Brain dumped ideas for what I wanted to include, the vibe, colors, etc. and asked ChatGPT for more ideas (it delivered!)
2. Asked ChatGPT to generate one thorough prompt that I could paste into Lovable
3. Moved to Lovable - Pasted prompt → got a full first draft
4. Refined & personalized - Tweaked spacing/colors/flow - Swapped in real photos & details, added a few fun sections
5. Published + shared - I used the default Lovable link (fast, easy, free) and dropped it into an email to our family list

If you want to copy my card or make your own, here’s the full guide including links: Lovable Holiday Card Guide​

#2 Storybooks as gifts

Quick recap from last week, because it fits perfectly here: you can use an image model (I used Nano Banana) to create a personalized storybook starring your kid, your niece, your best friend’s dog, whoever!

I made one for my daughter's neighborhood friend group. More details here and here.

#3 Family trivia night

This is my favorite “pass the time” use case.

Prompt: “I need trivia questions to play a fun trivia game with my family.”

Then iterate a few times as needed:

• “These are too easy. Make them harder.”
• “Ages are: [X, Y, Z]. Interests: [sports, pop culture, history, Disney, etc.]"

#4 Coloring sheets for the kids’ table

Another easy win with an image model (Nano Banana or the new ChatGPT image generator).

Two ways to do it:

1. Photo-based: Upload a photo of your kid and prompt: “Turn this into a clean black-and-white coloring page with simple outlines, kid-friendly, lots of open space, no shading.”
2. Interest-based: “Create a coloring page of a kid building a gingerbread house with a golden retriever. Simple outlines, lots of open space, no shading.”

Print a stack. Put out crayons. Buy yourself a few minutes.

#5 Ridiculous family videos

For pure entertainment: open Sora or Veo3 (the video creator tools from ChatGPT and Google), give it a photo of someone in the family, and prompt a silly scenario:

• “Turn grandpa into a rapper performing on a tiny stage in the living room.”
• “Make dad sing opera while cooking a turkey.”
• “Make my sister narrate a dramatic movie trailer about opening presents.”

Do a few rounds and you’ll end up with a full set of absurd clips that makes everyone laugh.
