Christmas Card

Big Kid just figured out the plan for the Christmas card (I'm pulling the photos for it now), and he's really ticked. He's reading this over my shoulder as I write and he's ticked I'm writing about him, and I'm kind of ticked I have to watch my mouth, he's about to go his room.

It involves photos of various shenanigans him and his brother have gotten up to over the year and he can't believe that I not only refuse to delete these unflattering photos, but that I would dare use them on our Christmas card...

I feel a little bad--but it's a super funny idea and I always do funny cards. I didn't know he'd take it so personally though....that's not very Christmas-spirit like to make your kid cry over being featured in the family Christmas card.

However, I am the boss, and it's the cheapest, easiest way, plus I've had it planned out all year. The Christmas card ordeal is usually not a collaborative effort, it's sort of a "what Ashley says goes since she does all the work" deal.

Would it be wrong to do it behind his back?

edited to add: He'll see the humor in it in a couple of years...
