Christmas
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.”

O Christmas Chair
“My mom’s family, 1963. My mom and aunt are the little girls in front row. We’re all very confused as to why the chair is the focal point of the picture. Apparently my mom’s grandmother, who took the photo, always took pictures where the people were not centered or heads were cut off. Otherwise it’s just a typical 1960s Christmas picture!”

Reindeer Games
“We went for a family portrait when I was nine and the photographer thought this would be a great addition to the shoot.”

Holiday Spirits
“This was my attempt at taking a family holiday photo. There was lots of fighting. Tears. A broken snow globe. And an accidental shot of my cleavage as I cleaned up the mess. There was a lot of bourbon as well. This one was an accident but ended up being my favorite.”

Sad Santa
“I don’t remember having this photo taken, but every time I look at it as an adult, I am horrified that I was planted on Santa’s lap. He couldn’t look any less excited about his job…..I’m looking a little uncertain about the whole thing as well! Bet there wasn’t a “ho, ho, ho” greeting involved here!”

A Christmas Story
“So many amazing things about this picture. I am the beauty with the middle part bangs accompanied by my life size Barbie. My mom is clearly feeling what every mother on Christmas feels while my dad is 90’s fabulous.”
