Christmas
Santa Support
“Every year my mom would take my brother and I for photos with Santa. I always had a fear of him and this particular year I didn’t want to sit on his lap so the photographer sat me off to the side, my mom held my hand and I refused to look at the camera. Don’t think this went on the Christmas card.”

Shining Star
“It all started with an ugly sweater contest and severe lack of sleep.”

Llama Drama
“I picked out our annual family ornament after a couple of drinks. Apparently you have to be drunk for these to look like llama legs, because when I unwrapped it to hang it up they definitely did not.”

Sunday Best
“Christmas of ‘69. Mom got a heckuva deal on fabric and yes indeed, we went to church like that.”

When Pigs Fly
“My mother’s attempt at a Christmas card photo circa 1994. The family pig Petunia would have none of it and attacked my younger brother while my other brother looks on gleefully.”

Double Trouble
“I tried to get some Christmas card photos with my boys this year. My 5 year old was NOT having it and refused to cooperate. He’s glaring and has puffy, red eyes in most of them, but this one took the cake for me since the baby is puking as well.”

Christmas Ornaments
“This is me in 1970 when I was 5 and meeting a Santa who had face-boobs.”

Christmas Jazz Hand
“The infamous Christmas photo shoot of 1984. Dad’s short-shorts and high socks highlighted his fashion-forward attitude and athleticism; my sister’s cheerleading perfection revealed her vow to never look bad in any photo- ever, and my single jazz hand stance complete this Awkward Family Christmas Card from over 30 years ago.”

Mailing It In
“Me with my husband and two daughters in our 1990 Christmas photo when I thought matching postage stamp tees and stone washed jeans was a good look.”
