OK I don’t get it.
It must be the name Nancy, because I don’t get it either. lol
Kris Kringle is another name for santa.
I’m pretty sure the guy in the red suit isn’t related to the others.
Is Aunt Telcia in there too???
check out the death grip mother dearest has on the toddler second from the left. Yeeeouch!
TOTALLY Saw that too.. was coming to comment on it…
more then likely why she is screaming bloody murder when the picture is being taken!!!! Other then that I don’t get the awkwardness of this photo
Wait for it…
That is totally photoshopped!
…and there we have it. Thanks, John.
ha ha ha ha!
Zing! Nice call Robin!! The guys are outnumbered, unless Santa is part of the family!
John’s lame
no photoshop… I know, I’m related to that mob… ‘cept Santa, of course
yeah , just check out the lighting, Santa is practically glowing when he should be
completely shadowed.
but he’s Santa! Isn’t there always a light shining from Heaven on him?
Um well they must have photoshopped the guy right above santy… check out the glow on his face!… or it could be the fact that santas the only one wearing a bright/shiny costume that reflects what? light! tada… anyone who screams “photoshop” should first ask the question “Why?” why would someone photoshop that photo? it’s not like they’re trying to make a baby look like it’s flying, if they were trying to cover another family member, perhaps that family member was the only one looking at the camera and smiling, completelly out of touch with this sweet “family bonding” moment . Nay, I think a more logical theory stems out the recesses of the minds of certain aunts or grandma’s everywhere (not naming any name, ahem my own aunt)… I can just here her voice now “I know what we should do now that the whole family is together, we should go get a family picture done!” “but mom there are so many of us, I don’t know if they’ll..” “pish posh, They’re are professionals dear…” and a little later “Ok now everyone watch duck…” “Wait I have another Idea!” “yes, ma’am” “Could we have a picture taken with santa?” “Well I had planned on doing one of just the kids…” “But they won’t sit still with him by themselves, I think it would be cute to have santa with our family…” and the rest, is awkward…
Mmm.. No. I’m pretty sure it’s photoshopped.
The woman on the left is great – care-free smile, yet at the same time you can see her fist of iron holding the screaming kid’s arm.
Probably to keep the little rascal from running away.
Exactly how big is Santa’s lap?
He’s photoshopped in.
This photo is like the clown car of AFP photos….I kept scrolling down and down and down and more and more just seem to keep appering.
I feel bad for the lady with the Kanye West glasses and the two screaming toddlers.
If only they’d let Marney organize the photo shoot. Or maybe they did.
Now THIS one looks like a massively photoshopped horror.
You’re lame too.
There is no more room in this inn!
Someone needs to be more selective because except for a couple of crying kids, this isn’t awkward.
Where’s Wally?
Its WALDO…
lol seriously…
It’s Wally in the UK or somewhere like that.
I so wanted to say this!! lol where’s waldo?
ahhhh you beat me to the “where’s waldo” comment. lol
My mom, dad, sister, and I are all freaking out a little bit. That baby front and center looks EXACTLY like I did as a baby.
That’s funny! Maybe these people borrowed you for awhile when no one was looking. Or maybe part of this photo is really photo shopped and your baby photo is out there somewhere and was used to paste into this photo. OR you have a twin!
Perhaps these are actually aliens who abducted people simply for a group photo with Santa? I’m sure you have no memory. Aliens are careful that way.
I really don’t think this one is photoshopped. If it is, it’s done so brilliantly badly that it looks real again. Either way, it’s a winner.
While I realize that every 16-year-old out there with access to the Internet yells “Photoshop!” at every single picture they see, I have to acknowledge that this one is indeed of PS disaster. Or masterpiece, depending upon how you look at it.
In any case, it brings tons of Holiday Joy, and therefore it’s pretty awesome.
Case closed, shut up kids, and Happy Holidays.
Amen, brutha!
Everyone yelling “photoshop” is a complete moron. I know the family and the picture is legit.
I’m not going to scream “PHOTOSHOPPED!”, however all the people look like a popourri of early 80s to modern 21st century. Looks a little wierd to me.
Realizing he had seriously overbooked the final Santa shoot for the local Olan Mills in Cleveland, Stanley Jackson allowed this free-for-all to occur. He was fired the day after Christmas. There is a happy ending though. American Airlines was so impressed with this picture they reached out and hired him within days. He now overbooks all flights out of Dallas/Fort Worth.
Funniest comment yet!
I am mezmorized at Santas perfectly well groomed beard. It sooo shiny. I wonder if he used a little “Mane and Tail” product on that…
Can’t…. feel my lap….God! The pain……
I think it’s real. They are all looking at teh same thing, except one girl is looking right into the camera. Also the light reflections on the top row guys foreheads are the same. And the white lights in the womens’ glasses.
I think its entirely likely that all these people are related and the picture is legit. However, Santa looks like a statue or a mannequin.
Hey, i submitted this, and it was not Photoshopped. We twenty or so cousins did this every year. To cry Photoshopped! is to loose sight of the deep and true awkwardness.
Happy Viewing!
Then why can’t everyone look like they’re being photographed in the same decade?
“OK, now everybody pretend that not everybody is happy – big smiles now!”
I don’t see what the big deal is. They could’ve fit at least 2-3 more people on the upper left part of the picture! LOL
The lighting is completely different on Santa. Definitely PS. And I’m not a teenager, I’ve been doing PS for years.
omg, the comments in here.. haven’t laffed so much in months.. thanks, i needed that.
oh… uh, no photoshop… they are all my cousins.. well, first cousins once removed.
Oh shut the eff up MC you’re annoying everyone. The light source is clearly coming from the top right over the three men AND santa. Big whoop you’ve been doing PH for years; Who Hasn’t? So what? Who cares? Go home have a glass of pinot grigrio.
Hey MC, I am in this photo, and we did this every year for YEARS at Fredrick and Nelson in Seattle. I am the one on the upper left with the really attractive blue eye shadow. The local news even covered it one year. There are no parents in the photo, all are cousins. It was taken in the mid 80s.
So, I guess it must have been a Christmas miracle that Santa is lit differently.
And carpoolmom-we are all just various representations of the 1980s.
… and very lovely ones, too, Mina. btw, Merry Christmas to all of you.. say hi to your mom for me.
Will do, Jan!
This photo inspires me. I want to have a go at my wedding album. Photo-shop ex-husband out; photo-shop Santa in!!!
The glasses on those women are the bomb…sure wish they’d come back in style!
One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things just doesn’t belong…
…and she’s not talkin bout Santa!
Santa was partially paralyzed from the lap down for the next three months thanks to this picture…
I love the mother with the two crying kids. They are the only ones crying.
That’s a sweet photo, Mina, Jan & Brigid!! I’m amazed you got one with “only” two crying babies. If I ever did a photo with all of my cousins, including the once/twice/three times removed, we’d have to use the bleachers in a school gymnasium!
to quote mitch hedburg:
“My sister Wendy has a husband and two children, and they have a family photo on top of the VCR, where they’re all looking slightly to the left. As though something is going on over there! I guess something happened over to the left that made everybody happy!”
A cornucopia of awkwardness.
