Family's funny Christmas card tradition embraces holiday chaos: 'What parenting really felt like'
Fox News
Capturing the perfect Christmas card usually requires multiple shots, but there’s one family that has fully embraced their holiday bloopers.
"Shortly after we had our first child we set out to take a ‘normal’ Christmas card and the results were spectacularly bad," Jonathan told Fox News Digital. "Everything that could go wrong, did. Like the baby crying the whole time, wind gusts, camera misfires. If two of us looked okay, the third one blinked or sneezed or something."

He continued, "We laughed so hard at the results that we ended up just sending a series of the worst outtakes and our family loved it. So it gave us an idea – instead of trying to capture perfect family photos for our Christmas cards, we thought it was more relatable to capture what parenting really felt like."
