The worst part is that someone thought this was a good idea. Oh, and to the person who wondered what happened to the non-conforming member of the family, Jamie, that person was made into the sweaters.
My aunt Janie used to run a yarn shop that was built into what used to be a bar. No, seriously. She used to knit me a sweater every.year. I owned a pullover sweater that was knitted from three-toned orange yarn that had a hood and a front pocket. So it was a hoodie – only knitted. My sister got one just like it, in varying shades of yellow. I wish I had that picture still.
Anyone remember the “Leave It To Beaver” episode when Beaver wore the Eskimo sweater that he later found out was a “girl’s” one that “Judy” also had?? I think they found 11 replicas!

I bet a granny knitted them with love, and when the bad seed refused the knitting needle was naturally the weapon of choice.
That’s a Norwegian pattern on those sweaters. You don’t piss them off, they have that Viking blood.

Ha!
Out of all the sweater designs in the world…
Not saying families should all dress in matching wear!
Even the little one looks about 30, those sweaters are AGING, but its cute they all like each other enough to do that..
the sweaters resemble Central-South American parkas!! The Swiss Family Gonzales?!
That is so wrong.
sweater world must of had a sale….all sweaters from 1979…HALF PRICE!!!

That’s not awkward. hee hee
omawarisan, they all had to open the gifts at the same time. The kid 2nd from left has Ken doll arms.
What’s sticking out of the pant leg of the guy on the left?
Looks like they made some sweaters out of fancy curtains.
Granny’s calendar:
January 1… Start knitting Christmas sweaters for this year’s family portrait.

“Remember when we all wore those goofy sweaters”………
After say the 3rd or 4th one opened their gift, was anyone really surprised?
Nothing says ‘Family’ like gender-specific sweaters…
Why did they color code the family? Can’t they tell whether they’re male or female without the right colors?
Looks like an Inca or Mayan cult. lol.
Who thought this would be a good idea?
Grandma, that’s who.
This pic is so legit, I think I’ll use it on MY Christmas cards this year!

Stare at the sweaters and allow your eyes to unfocus…An eagle will emerge…Keep staring…
Oh my gosh. I really have to know what happened here. Are you serious??!
The baby girl looks like she knows she’s in for it.
And the sweaters are so flattering!
what happened to the family member who refused to conform?
I bet this was Granny’s idea: “Oh, hay. A sweater sale at Land’s End! Fab! We’ll look so swell for our Christmas photo!”
Caption: Just wait until they see what I got at the outlet mall today!
This is absolutely hilarious…they must think they’re hot stuff!
A family that knits together…
You think someone would have learned after hearing,”Oh you shouldn’t have” so many times! No really, YOU….SHOULDN’T………HAVE
No.
Just…………
no.
grandma spent 364 busy days at her loom.
I feel bad for the little ones. They’ll have that sweater forever in hand-me-down hell.
This is perhaps the most visually painful one yet. Where’s my Advil?
Hahaha! I thought those all-white-turtleneck family photos were tasteless – until this.
“Guess what I got you for Xmas?”
Ow! My eyes! My eyes!
I wonder what the cameraman’s wearing.
Gaah!!!! MY EYES!!!!!!
oh man, that sucks… WAIT! this reminds me of one of our pictures… i might have something to submit….
Hilarous !
I’m figuring there’s some kind of star-belly caste system in place.
Laundry day for this family must be hell. Something tells me they all have labels sewn in.
Gotta love the color coding.
looks like Iceland
