  2. Celine says:

    Pretty much every photo I’ve ever taken of my family on any given holiday looks just like this. Well, without the tuxedo shirt.

  3. Tim S says:

    Can we get the family time over with so we can watch some football?

    Obviously, three people who despise turkey subjected to another bleeping Thanksgiving dinner!!!!

    I got a simmilar T-shirt, and it is a cool T-Shirt.

  8. Bean says:

    I have so many pictures like this. Because EVERY time my family got together my mom said, : We never have any nice pictures together.

    So we started to make it so we didnt have any nice pictures together. haha

    Feel the joy.

    Poor mom! You can see she put some time into that meal. Look at that cornucopia in the middle – is it made of bread? Come on, people, suck it up, smile for the picture! The rule here is – no smile, no food – works every time! LOL

  11. Anon says:

    I love it. The dinner shows all of the signs of a mother who can’t live without her traditions; the cornucopia, the fancy china and goblets, everything. She even broke out the candles and tablecloth. And all the family cares about is eating the meal so they can go back to what they were doing while mom was cooking.

    • Cee says:

      I bet that when those kids grow up and have their own kids, that they subject their own families to the same traditions!

  12. Just my opinion says:

    I’m not really seeing the awkwardness here…ohh wait I’m not seeing a regulation size caserole dish on that table

  13. Marshall says:

    Leonardo DiCaprio’s last family Thanksgiving just before his career hit the big time!

  14. barbett says:

    of course they are all mad there is no turkey

  15. D'OH says:

    Don’t everyone look so HAPPY now….

  16. Blair says:

    I seriously want to know how she made that cornucopia.

    If Rockwell did his illustrations during the 1980’s, this would be it.

  18. dooger says:

    Personally, I think that this photo PROVES that there is one dude out there who has worn a tuxedo t-shirt as a fashion statement, and succeeded with flying colors. Plus, he sorta resembles a young Greg Brady, no?

  19. HeatherW says:

    You’ll eat Thanksgiving dinner, and you’ll LIKE it!

  20. LilyBear says:

    What the heck is the pink stuff?

  21. Navigator says:

    I have a dress that has the EXACT same pattern as that wallpaper. Go figure.

  22. HeatherW says:

    Or

    “Thanksgiving : Capture the Magic!”

  23. Lucy says:

    Those people are STARVING, and Mom makes them pose for pictures first.

  24. mombalabamba says:

    The awful pink stuff is the cranberries. Strawberry Jello + Cool Whip + a can of cranberry sauce.

  25. Beth says:

    Ya know, when ya serve HEAPS of stuffing and MOUNDS of potatos on flat PLATES, they get cold within 2 minutes. This is definately not regulation. No wonder they aren’t smiling they know their food is already cold. It’s enough to make me want to break out the cocktail sauce.

  26. Tim says:

    OK…who didn’t bring the regulation casserole dish!?

  27. Rosa says:

    They just found out mom wanted to make a healthly alternative to the traditional dinner. And that includes…yep, a tofurkey!

  28. Skipping Lunch says:

    Growing up, my mom, not that experienced with a camera, always took what she called a “practice picture”

    She’d make a big production of setting everything up just right, and staging us – said it made the picture look more relaxed and spontaneous.

    Funny thing, it was way before instant polaroids, and digitals were a distant dream of the future, so even with the practice picture, we still didn’t now how goofy we looked until we got them back from the drug store.

  29. Link says:

    bwahahahaha. I have that same chair.

  30. Chuckles says:

    I like his tuxedo shirt…it says “I want to be formal, but I’m still here to party.”

  31. PTSD says:

    I think I am going to cry.

  32. John says:

    The food doesn’t look that good.. X.X

    lol
