Spreading the Awkwardness
Even Jacques Cousteau would agree this holiday card has a certain je ne sais quoi.

What — are the fish offended by the word “Christmas?”
Why assume they’re Christians?
Agreed with above me. Plus, “holidays” includes New Years.
Why is it people can’t say happy holidays without someone whining about it? What’s wrong with being polite to people?
Or fish?
Then why not just say Merry Christmas? That is the name of the holiday, right? Christmas?
lol “that’s the name of the holiday” :c as if it is the only holiday. nice.
Helmet diving! I love it!
We all live in a yellow submarine….
The family that sits in a fishtank together, stays together. If they didn’t, their oxygen hoses would pop off and they’d drown, which would provide a truly awkward picture.
Hey, look!,to the left! It’s Bill Murray!
I think that’s an awesome family photo. Knuckleheads.
I love your blog. It makes me happy every day.
I actually like this photo; it’s very original. Although their heads look like they are stuck in old-fashioned gas lanterns.
Those tricksters! They almost got me! They’re actually behind one of those wooden stand-up thingies with holes to put your head through.
…under the sea – there´s always ROCKnROLL…
I appreciate their helmets AND their political correctness.
Christmas+New years =holidays right?
Say…this isn’t that “inside the shark” family, isit?
In the future, after global warming kicks in and the ice caps melt this will be judged to be a relatively normal family photo… and there’s not a compound harpoon in sight !
Game. Set. Match.
(and the compound reference gives you double points.)
This picture looks a little fishy to me. Maybe they did it just for the halibut.
haha that comment is so cheesy but I love it!
That pun shows you have no remoras.
eel say!
omg, everybody, stop it!!! wicked funny!
Showed lots of Sole for the holidays too
That is kinda cool, actually.
i know. i was just going to say that actually looks pretty fun
Something fishy is definately going on here.
What’s the porpoise of this picture?
LOL good one!
lol
They are not really there in the water. But, boy, it ure does look REAL!
I meant “sure”
“ure” you did… ;^)
J eally did mean sure
I think what really helps to tie the whole thing together is the coordinated belts they’re wearing. Imagine how catty we’d've been if they’d clashed!
Willie and the rest of the Nelson family wated to do something different for this year’s christmas card…
Are they all on TV?
Wait………..are they really not in the water???????
The coneheads have nothing on this family!
This is the best Jimmy Buffet concert ever.
LOL! Fins to the left, fins to the right!!!
He’d agree that’s it’s got a certain Je ne sais pourquoi
Nice linguistic joke.
Mele Kalikimaka!
I made a comment earlier about a plastic reindeer but it disappeared. The comment. Not the reindeer.
I think this is a terrific picture! I’d much rather get this for a Christmas card than one with the freaky Santa peeking through the window!
Happy Holidays from Team Zissou!
This picture needs a yard gnome.
I think those are divers that are getting paid to have a family’s individual portraits glued to the front of their helmet cage things
This reminds me of the first time I went underwater target shooting with my new crossbow speargun. Fun!
I think they really are under water. The complexions of the hands match the complexions of the heads.
This is really cute, not awkward….except the arm .that has 2 hands just above the fish fin
not awkward? Futurama people underwater holding a “Happy Holidays” sign is not awkward to you? I’d love to look through your family album
you can clearly see that they are not in water if you look behind you can see the tank
they are actually in the water
It seems like they are in the water – coral etc behind, fish swimming in front, air bubbles coming from helmets…
This family has that certain je ne sais quoi, but I don’t know what it is.
There’s something fishy about the photographer. I think he’s a Pisces, probably working for scale.
(Hats off to Nick Danger)
*bang!*
I think that is “The Worlds Most Interesting Man” on the left.
It IS!!!
Falco will descend in the diving saucer, but alas, he does not find the Atlantans to be as attractive as he had imagined during those lonely nights after card games on the Calypso.
Since when can you buy scuba gear in landscaping lighting section at Home Depot?
You’re gonna need a bigger boat
As I look at this px, I’m starting to have difficulty breathing.
This is actually real – its harley’s helmets in bermuda. the company has been around for decades
Like marj said, this picture is definitely real! It’s Hartley’s Helmet Diving or Hartley’s Underwater Walk, it has different names lol. If you’re ever in Bermuda, definitely do it! You don’t need to know how to swim or anything, it’s fantastic
