Christmas Card Photography

Just moving to the area there are so many things that I have to do and see. I also have a list of errands that I need to run and a bunch of services that I need to get recommendations for who is the best in town. Particularly I need to have a Houston Photographer get our Christmas shots done. I need to find a photographer, schedule a date, get the proofs back, have them ordered and then sent out as Christmas cards. Is this a realistic request at this late date or should I try to do something else this year for cards?
