I’m Dreaming Of A White Khristmas…

Christmas cards are a long-standing festive tradition but for one snap happy family, they’re also the perfect opportunity for a full scale photo shoot!

The Kardashian’s love any excuse to dress up and strike a pose and this years eagerly awaited Christmas card doesn't disappoint. 

Dressed all in white, the famous family have a few new editions to the brood this year – Kourtney and Scott’s baby daughter Penelope makes her debut and Kim’s now deceased kitty Mercy – but there’s no sign of Kim’s latest squeeze and paparazzi partner Kanye West.

The card which was shot by Nick Saglimbeni, shows the family in full party mode and marks a striking comparison to the more sombre mood captured in last year’s dark and mysterious looking scene.

And, if you’re wondering how so many busy people found the time in their packed schedules to take part in the big budget production, we can also reveal that not all members of the family were present for the main photo shoot.

Speaking to Ellen de Generes on Ellen's talkshow, 28-year-old Khloe admitted that she and husband Lamar Odom were snapped separately and added into the scene later. “We pretend that we're always together” Khloe revealed. “The powers of cameras and Photoshop.”

Model Kendal Jenner and Kourtney’s partner Scott also had to be added at a later date as both were too ill to take part in the group shot.

So they may not all be as united as they make out but who cares! It looks like they are and that's all that matters...
