Why Kim shared this year’s family Christmas card

Kim Kardashian West, on Friday, shared a family Christmas photo that featured herself and husband Kanye West with their four children but did not include the rest of her famous family. Although the KardashianJenner Christmas cards are an annual tradition around the holiday season it seems Kardashian West wanted to keep things simple to cut down on holiday stress.

According to a source close to Kardashian-Jenner siblings, “It’s been difficult for them for years to get everyone together for a Christmas card. Last year when Kim organised it, there was a lot of complaining. It really stressed her out. She was over the drama and decided to do one for just her family this year,” reported People magazine.

The source also added that it was important for the 39year-old star to share a special photo as she knew fans wanted to see her family together.

The photo shared by the star, which featured the West family was a casual snap. It included the couple and their four kids. In the picture, the family is seen sitting together on their steps dressed in coordinated sweatsuits. The source said the photograph was taken at their house and it was just a relaxed event. The kids were happy and it was perfect. Kanye is not a fan of gaudiness which is the reason why they are dressed casually.

Last year, Kardashian West admitted that she didn’t think that the family would be able to do a photoshoot because of past drama but they were able to make it work ultimately. The Beauty mogul explained on Twitter “This year we waited until the last minute to do a card. Schedules we’re changing, my husband [Kanye West] was in and out of town.”

She added that on the day they ended up taking the image they “realized we were all together so we had all of our kids come meet us.” The drama was documented in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians show.
