Family ditch 'picture perfect' Christmas cards for hilarious 'season gone wrong' scenes

For most families sending their own personalised Christmas cards, it's about getting the perfectly staged photo to go with it, probably with matching outfits. But one family have ditched the idea of a 'picture perfect' card in favour of comical snaps of the holiday going wrong - including one of their baby riding a drone and a disastrous cookie-making session.

The Stanleys came up with the idea after their Christmas card photoshoot with newborn Jackson in 2013 was a "total disaster". They sent the hilarious outtakes to their friends and family and it gave them the idea to mock up scenes of 'Christmas gone wrong' for future cards.

Each year, they use real photos of the family of five - and then the dangerous elements like chainsaws and runaway cars are photoshopped in later and they now have an impressive set.
