You are young (say, under 30), your friends have started reproducing, and it is Christmas. Your mantlepiece starts filling with cards adorned with various offspring dressed as Santa Claus, a Christmas Pudding, a Wise Man, or just in a festive jumper smiling broadly for the camera. “Oh no,” you think scornfully, “poor children, surely that will scar them for life”. Then you become a parent. One day, with nothing better to do, you find yourself putting your child in an empty cardboard box for fun. They like it. A lightbulb pings in your head. Christmas is coming…..
Here are the outtakes:

What a fun idea! I may have to copy you, ha! Don’t tell my husband, he is thoroughly opposed to baby holiday photo shoots (Grinch!).

Absolutely perfect for a Christmas card – 3rd one down is my personal favourite 🙂 It’s adorable and genuine (not eye-roll inducing in the least!)

You little boy is so cute! And great idea with the box! I am hoping my little guy can sit up on his own by Christmas, because I’ve got plenty of picture ideas 🙂

Thanks 🙂 It didn’t help that he is trying to pull himself up and the box kept almost tipping over! Honestly, l think we are going to keep doing this until he is old enough to complain !! 🙂

Thanks 🙂 It is rare to get a photo without dribble and/or a covering of baby rice across his face/hands/hair…. 🙂

Cute! I wonder if I should try this too… My boy loves boxes! (banging on, sitting in, eating, drooling on, etc.)

It was very funny to do (ours loves eating boxes too, so we gave him tinsel to dribble on instead!)
