All parents of troublemakers will love this dangerous Christmas card

Yes, that's a power drill.

Don't worry: Photostop was involved in the making of this Christmas card.

The Stanley family nailed what it's like to raise two rowdy boys in the card they sent out this holiday season. They did it by placing their kids on the roof.

"I try to capture the essence of raising two boys in our Christmas cards," the boys' dad and creator of the card wrote on Reddit. "Here is my 2016 card."

The photo features his children proudly standing on the roof clutching a power drill and a mallet, a sign saying "Santa stop here – ben gud" (meaning been good), and both parents and their dog running to rescue the naughty kids.

Stanley also shared a YouTube video showing how he made the card. The children were photographed in front of a green screen, and the banner was created entirely on Photoshop.

Here's hoping the Stanleys' real Christmas goes a little smoother than their imaginary one.
