Opinion on Christmas card please

DH and I have a little bit of a sick and deranged sense of humor. Sometimes things we think are funny, others don't.

What do you think of this idea for our Christmas cards this year?

I'm going to take 2 pictures.

The first one is going to be the actual Christmas card, with DS dressed nicely in his Christmas outfit, sitting next to a stocking that says "Dear Santa, I've been a good boy!".

Then inside, I was thinking of including a picture of DS, next to a similar stocking but this one says "Dear Santa, Define "Naughty", with a picture of DS, nice Christmas clothes that he was wearing in the last pic strewn all over, in nothing but a diaper and Santa hat, next to a carton of cigarettes (empty of course), can of beer, and a Playboy magazine (taped across the "boy" part to say "Playbaby" (nothing naughty showing though).

Is this too much? I was thinking the older folk would not find this funny but my friends and siblings would.

Maybe just exclude the inside pic for the older generation?

Or is this just a bad idea???

Honest opinions, please!!

If your friends would find it funny (and so would you), you could always email that pic to them around the holidays.

ita. i love the concept of the card. but i dont like the beer, cigerettes, etc. I would have him in a diper with the santa hat on and a big mess around him. Maybe toilet paper all over the house or something like that.

ITA; the beer & cigs would be "too much" IMHO, but otherwise the idea is GReAT!!!

Re: Opinion on Christmas card please

okay, thanks, ladies!!!!

I thought it may be a bit too much but I figured I'd throw it out there to get reactions.

This was just the feedback I was looking for!

My back-up plan was exactly that, to have exclude the "bad things" and just have it be a mess, maybe with wrapping paper and stuff strewn all over the place!

I know a lot of people find photos with babies & beer bottles hilarious. Personally, it's not my thing.

I think that would be cuter.

I agree, without the adult props and more baby props. I think the concept is very cute.

I'm probably a stick in the mud but personally I wouldn't find it funny.

Re: Opinion on Christmas card please

I have a deranged sense of humor too, but I agree with everyone else that the cigs and beer are too much.

Two years ago, I had a pic of DS "wrapping" up his sister to ship to everyone for their christmas present..... Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

The idea of "Define Naughty" is awesome, though. I like the idea of a mess. Food, dirt, crayon on the "wall", etc.
