The Kardashian Christmas card was actually one big drama where North was photoshopped in

It looked so sweet, right, with all of us on that white staircase, with those handsome faces and gray joggers. But in reality, it was actually not chill at all, as Kim Kardashian tells in Ellen DeGeneres' show. Her oldest daughter North (6) was terrorizing everything that day and had no interest in a cozy family portrait.

“It's quite something to get four kids to laugh at the same time and North was having one of those days where she didn't want to do anything. She insisted on wearing her hair a certain way and refused to join us. Eventually, it became so dramatic that I told her we could take the photo without her. She was okay with that and so was I,” says Kim.

But as the mind of a rebellious schoolchild works, Nori wanted to be part of the Christmas card the next day. So what do you do when the photographer in question is still in town? Call for a new shoot. “The photographer then took some photos of North and me separately and cropped me out of them. So Nori is photoshopped in. Luckily, you can't see it at all in the final photo, it looks very nice like this,” says Kim.

“I had excluded her just to teach her a lesson from this year's card,” jokes Ellen. “But maybe that's why I don't have kids.” Gotta love Ellen.
