That tree is the most awkward thing in the photo. I mean, the lady is cute, the guy is a bit serious, but that tree is the bluest, tinseliest, cheesiest tree I have ever seen!
This photo is just SCREAMING late 70s. The hair, the blue tree, the tinsel, the orange cast to the photo… I agree with the person who mentioned the “glasses off” squint.. That poor guy was probably just trying to see what the photographer was doing!
My husband looked over my shoulder at this pic and remarked that it would probably take giving him back his glasses to get the gentleman in the spirit. I concur; we’re both pretty nearsighted and are very familiar with that characteristic “glasses off for the photo” squint. It’s not just vanity, by the way. When you are photographed with glasses on you either have to tilt them on your nose at a really funky angle or contend with glare on the print afterward.
Awww…look at the happy couple. Not everyday will you find a guy who will not only dress in the same color as his girl for their Christmas portrait, but wear the same hairstyle too.

WHADDAYA MEAN THERE’S NO MORE STUFFING?!
If Santa come down my chimney, I’m a gonna whup his ass!
Ohio. North Central Ohio specifically. Today. I used to work with him. Sadly I still live in Ohio:(
Definitely Today in Ohio. Trust me, I live here.
They must’ve cancelled the Skynyrd tour.
I’ll have a bluuuue Christmas tree without you.
I would be grumpy too if I had to clean all that tinsel off the tree after Christmas!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that while the pose says “couple,” there’s a peculiar sibling resemblance between these two?
My mistake. That’s definitely not Dibiasi. It’s definitely Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
I looked at that guy and saw a pro wrestler too!
One drink of eggnog for each strand of tinsel just might be enough to turn that frown upside down!
I will take this moment to point out that vignettes of all kinds generally look awkward. This is a prime example.
“For the love of God, stop dragging me to your sister Marney’s house. Damn.”
LOL! Imagine Marney at Christmas!
This may be my favorite photo…of anything…ever.
Merry F***ing Christmas, now get the hell out of my house, there’s a game on.
Definetly 70′s-I remember those awful orange poorly placed home done Sun-In highlights!
I say, I still think it could be Today in Ohio.
I don’t think it 70s, cos his shirt collar is quite small, not like they used to be in the 70s. It must be early to mid-80s, I think.
Merry Christmas, The Conners
HELL YES!
This has to be from the Roseanne Christmas Special. The resemblance is haunting.
haha… totally agree! that was my initial thought too!
omg… I was just thinking that! This picture screams “Roseanne” for some reason.
had the same thought!

Mmmm, I dunno about the 1970s. It looks like it could be Today in Ohio.
“It looks like it could be Today in Ohio.” – that was epic. hahahahaha
“I smell somethin’. Was that the photographer?”
Ah, young love. I think they’re just darling.

Was this taken through a peephole?
Whoever decorated that tree in the back was a little heavy-handed with the tinsel, don’t you think?
How can he be sad with a SUPER SPARKLY TREE?! Seriously. Look at that thing.
That’s a tree? I thought it was a spiderweb from space.
It’s so ugly!
I think the photographer was messing with the camera for too long, and he was JUST about to say “Will you take the damn picture already?!” *click!*
This could be titled, “How the Grimace Stole Christmas”!
I like how they both have the same hairstyle!
wow, same haircut

haha!
Christmas spirits? Oh, I wish I had a good Charles Dickens joke!
He’s smiling with his eyes.
Or as Tyra Banks would say, “Smeyesing [sic].”
