Christmas

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.”

The Spirit Of Taking

“This is a photo of my younger sister and I on Christmas in 1996. I’m the one with the triumphant look on my face holding the cards and mashing my hand in my sister’s face. I love this picture because it pretty much sums up the relationship I have with my sister. It also tells you a lot about my family… like the fact that my parents took a picture of the situation before pulling me off of my sister.”

Worst Day Of Our Life

“My sister and I thought it might be a good idea to have our kids’ photos taken as a Christmas present for my mom.  With two hungry, tired newborn babies and a bored 3 year old, it was quite possibly the worst day of our lives.  This was the best pic we could get of all three of them.”

Mad Santa

“This is my creepy throwback photo of me and Santa as a kid. Check out his eyes.”

Holy Roller

“I hated taking pictures when I was little, especially ones where we had to dress up. I told my mom I was done and she didn’t believe me. I didn’t mean to make this face. It just sort of happened on its own. So this is the Christmas card she got.”
