The holidays are stressful enough, friends. Taking a beautiful picture of your happy family decked out in festive gear should not turn you into the Grinch! Since it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, I’m partnering with my friends at Joe Boxer to create the most perfect family picture for our Christmas cards. No stuffy backgrounds or uncomfortable dress clothes for this bunch, we’re rocking around the Christmas tree in Joe Boxer pajamas from Kmart for our card and since we are experts at getting the perfect shot, I’m going to share my tips with you!
One of the reasons that our Christmas cards always look so great is because I never have trouble taking pictures of my kids because they just LOVE the camera! Plus they look pretty cute and comfy in their new Joe Boxer pajamas. Hey, kids, look at mommy and say “Rudolph!”
I find that when setting up shots for your holiday card, it’s really best to just catch everyone in their most natural state.
Even if things get a little hairy, relax! Enjoy the season and making memories with your family!
When taking your family pictures, think about the setting! Since everyone from Mom, Dad, and kids are warm in their whimsical Joe Boxer pajamas, why not cozy up next to a roaring fire?
Now that you’ve had a blast taking pictures, you’re almost done! But be sure to get one last shot! Everyone snuggle up real close and finish off this successful photo session with a round robin version of Silent Night. Just give Mommy a minute to warm up her voice.
Needs some more inspiration for you holiday cards? How about the hilarious Joe Boxer commercials? When I saw these for the first time I actually snorted (sexy, right?). The sweet moves from the Mammas-to-be in Santa Baby are almost as impressive as the fellas moves in Jingle Bellies. Which one is your favorite?
So there you go, with a little help from Joe Boxer pajamas from Kmart and yours truly, you too can have the perfect family picture in your Christmas pajamas. You may show your gratitude to me in Christmas cookies, after all, my new pajamas have a nice stretchy elastic waist.

Looks like so much fun!! I will have to try some of your tips. BTW I love Joe Boxer pjs.
Your family is JUST like mine. We came out with pretty much the same photos LOL.
Hahahah those are great photos. We had so many like that last year. Joe Boxer takes up a lot of drawer space around here. Love that stuff.
Looks like you had a blast with your Christmas photos! The first shot is perfect for me because I close my eyes in at least half the pics taken of me, lol.
Hahah looks like you had so much fun taking pictures. Those are some cute PJ’s from Joe Boxer. thank you for sharing the fun and holiday spirit.
Look like you guys had a blast. I love Joe Boxer pj’s super comfy.
Looks like you were having fun I love the photos. I need to pick up some Joe Boxer PJ’s.
You guys look so great! I love that you all have your eyes closed. =D
This is awesome. Your pyjamas are super cute. I need to get us family pj’s!
Love all the photos. I know your family had fun creating this post, plus the pjs are pretty cute.
I love this pic taking in pjs. Bound to make everyone smile.
Haha, Christmas PJ pictures are a great idea! I don’t think we could EVER get all four of us looking at the camera at the same time though!
Your pictures are so cute! There’s always one person who is off in their own little world when we take pictures.
I love the Christmas pajama idea. Pictures with them just turn out so cute!
haha I love that your family played along for the pictures.
Cute memories for the future. Great PJs too – love your daughter’s elf PJ!
Oh my gosh! These are GREAT!!! I totally love the idea of family photos in Christmas pajamas! We have to do this this year!
I love the pajamas and the priceless memories made making these photos! My favorite is the photo near the fire.
Your photos are wonderful! So adorable, thanks for sharing! And what a great idea to do family photos in jammies!
You guys are awesome. These are so similar to most people’s holiday pictures!!
Your pajamas are SO cute! I love all of your pictures
I love the expressions everyone has in these pictures. Super cute to look at in the future!
These are all great pajamas. I love to give Pj’s for Christmas gifts.
Haha. you’re too funny
You really can’t go wrong with Joe Boxer! I’ve been a fan for years!
Kmart always has the best commercials! I didn’t know Joe Boxer was still around. Loved it when I was younger!
I loved both of these videos. And I totally see how easy it was to get a perfect card with your tips. I think my 2 and 6 year old are just as great of models as your gang as well.
I love this post! I have had to get over trying to be all “picture perfect” and just live in the moment! It leads to better memories being captured!
I think the candid shots are always the best anyway
You all look super adorable in your pj’s!
Oh your kids look so adorable on pjs. Those preggy poses for holiday cards in the video are entertaining!
LOL! What cute photo’s! Love the pajama’s, fun to wake up in Christmas morning!
Haha, awesome! Super cute family, and those pj’s look so comfy and cute!
Cute photos! We are going to try to take one this year. I love the candid ones the best!
Dad checking the phone is hilarious!! We need that on our card because that mimics our daily life, lol These are great and the jammies are cute too!
Very cute pictures – I think picture cards are the best!
Very nice
That looks just about right! LOL
What super cute ideas! We always try so hard to get a serious photo… why not just go full out silly?
These made me smile! So hard to capture everyone looking perfect
I love this idea! Forget trying to be completely perfect and posed and serious! The most important thing is everyone is having a great time and that will be remembered forever.
Loving the pics! I remember buying Joe Boxer when I lived in NY. Now I don’t have a K-Mart close by but Joe Boxers were super comfy then and I’m sure even more now.
Love your perfect family photo ideas! I never too pj photos but wish I had! Merry Christmas!
I love all your jammies. We do cute jammies avery Christmas too. I love the way K-mart is getting in on the fun. The commercial they did for Jingle Bells a few years ago was awesome.
I love it! Love all the pics! I thought k-mart was disappearing for a while but looks like they’re making a comeback!
Those jammies are super cute! Love the Joe Boxer products at Kmart!
These are lovely pictures, I so want matching Pajamas for the family. I think it would be awesome to wear these on Christmas Eve, what fun that would be for our pizza and presents on Christmas Eve with my Dad and Step mom.
Love the pics. Exactly like my family of 3 kids. Impossible to take pictures of those munchkins. The PJs look really comfy too! We’ll have to look into them. I also suggest, because it looks like this site might be needed, to check out http://www.PerfectPic.com. Changing the “Bad” before into the “Beautiful” after.
