I received a greeting card from the friends who visited us this past summer, and it’s in the style of a photo card. There’s an image of the whole family on the front, and it’s quite beautiful. Definitely not one of those hilarious awkward family Christmas pictures you find scattered all over the internet.

These are the type of photos I have. Why did we have to be such a normal family?
On the left: my dad holding his godchild. In the middle: I'm sitting on my mom's lap.
On the right: my two brothers sitting on my uncle's lap; he's first cousins with my mom. |
I don’t have any outrageous family holiday snapshots, but I think it would be fun to. They make for great stories, and future generations could laugh at us. Maybe I should convince the family to create some. Hmmm...
In the meantime, we can laugh at other families. Here are a few hilarious awkward family Christmas pictures that I ran across this week. Enjoy!

Where can I get me some of those gift box shoes? |
 |
Um...someone should tell them the position is already filled. |
 |
You just know this baby will need therapy in the future. |
 |
I bet this cat ran away after this picture was taken. |
 |
WTF?? Can you imagine receiving this at Christmas? |
 |
He's just loving that holiday sweater, and getting ready to sing ♫♪ The Sound of Music ♪♫ |
 |
Priceless! |
 |
Overly friendly, warm (albeit corny) sweaters, coffee drinkers...hmmm...Canadians? |
And lest we forget pets posing with Santa...
 |
You can always depend on cats to screw things up. |
Do you have funny family Christmas pictures?
It's 5:30 am and I am trying not to laugh out loud and wake everyone up. WHAT were they THINKING???
ReplyDeleteThey were not thinking at all! These images are now floating around the internet for all eternity :)
DeleteI love all of these!!! The diaper one caused so much comment controversy on my blog on Monday my warped and wacky mind couldn't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteI think that's the weirdest one of them all!
DeleteLOL oh I can't stop laughing. The dude in the holiday sweater is cracking me UP!
ReplyDeleteHe's so happy about that sweater, too.
DeleteThese photos are hilarious, thanks for sharing lol. The things people do.
ReplyDeleteTheir craziness is our entertainment!
DeleteHahahaha, these are great! Those poor animals, forced to be complicit in such idiocy!
ReplyDeleteYes, those poor animals! That's where my sympathy is...lol...
Deleteyou figure cats would be mad at Santa not each other
ReplyDeleteYou'd think so, but they turn on each other instead.
DeleteThe 'fig leaf' family!!!! I can just imagine this and a couple of old family photos....'photoshopped' of course!!! lol
ReplyDeleteReceiving a Christmas card with a leaf family type of image would just freak me out!
DeleteOh how funny! I hope that is the spirit most of them were hoping to capture because some are a tad, how shall we say - embarrassing? Mary, Joseph and Fido? Oh well, to each their own I guess! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI'm going to believe that many of them were purposely being silly.
Deletewow .... I can't image getting any of those cards! gift box shoes?
ReplyDeleteReceiving one of these would certainly be quite a surprise, and some more surprising than others!
DeleteDefiantly get all kinds don't you ? lol ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteYup, you certainly do get all kinds!
DeleteThose are great. Though that one looks like that Vin Diesel guy. Only I don't know how to spell his name. The happy chap in the Christmas sweater.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that, but now that you mention it...hmmm...you are probably right.
DeleteThanks for the laugh. Surprising what some families do in their photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd willingly, too!
DeleteI am laughing so hard! These are hilarious. What were they thinking indeed!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were thinking!
DeleteYour post always give me a good chuckle. some of these are absolutely hilarious. I like your family photo because of the color in the photos at that time and the clothing styles.
ReplyDeleteThat family photo certainly depicts how far back in time it was taken! That's what I like about these images.
DeleteThese are really awkward and some kind of creepy! Makes that recent Christmas video of the family dancing around in their pj's seem normal!
ReplyDeleteYes, some are kind of creepy! I can't imagine being in some of these photos and having it floating around on the internet!
DeleteI think not having awkward family photos is a good thing. They now end up of the Internet. FOREVER.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Birdie! They do float on the internet forever.
