Christmas
Timing Is Everything
“Norway, early 2000s. Our mom wanted a family Christmas photo, so we were lined up in our living room, my dad pressed the self-timer and voilá.”

The Purge: A Christmas Story
“I have no idea why they thought Santa and Miss Piggy was a good idea and I was scared out of my mind to stand between them.”

Clown Clause
“This picture was taken in December of 1969 in Sherman Oaks, CA . That is me at the age of 6 months. He was this frightening Santa that would visit my grandmother and grandfather’s house every Christmas. To me he looks deranged.'”

The Mask
“My dad would always dress in this creepy Santa costume. It didn’t take us long to figure out it was him because he always wore his work boots with the costume.”

Manger Danger
“Christmas, 1997. My baby sister was being held up by my dad through a hole cut in the sheet and he was shouting at my mom to take the picture.”

New Year Cheer
“I’m the second girl from the right in the first row. It was December 1983 and a children’s New Year’s celebration in the USSR. It was common for the children to appear in Halloween-like costumes. Uncle Lenin was also everywhere. Can’t you feel the joy?”

Wet Christmas
“Nothing says ‘Holidays’ like waiting in line for an hour and a half to see Santa, only for our son to have an accident the minute before his turn. Santa refused to let him sit on his lap. He gladly welcomed our daughter though, and let’s just say she didn’t enjoy it very much. Can you feel the Christmas magic?”
