The Christmas Choke
“We had to wear our Christmas gear all day and stand in line for hours. Needless to say, we were sick of each other by the time we met Santa.”

Nutcracker Love
“Growing up, I did ballet and I performed in The Nutcracker more times than I can remember. This was the year I was a candy cane and also the year the photographer insisted that I caress the nutcracker doll, resulting in this creepy, borderline objectophilia gem.”

Red Alert
“My mother always dressed my brothers and I alike, but one Christmas, she made everyone do it. This is the result. I’m the one who is not smiling because I’m pretty sure I just received a “talking to” for my objection to the madness.”

Christmas Cheer From Sweden
“When I was in New Zealand my family wanted to wish me Happy Christmas and give me some of that Holiday cheer all the way from Sweden. Well it made me laugh. I look at it every Christmas”

Make Yourself Comfortable
“This is my mother, my sister and me posing for our annual Christmas picture in a Walmart in Louisiana circa 2008. Please note the matching Banana Republic sweaters that were purchased on clearance and no, those aren’t spray tans. It was just very hot in the studio.”

The Birthday Girl
“This was taken for my mom’s December birthday — notice the weird birthday cake with Christmas trees on it. She looks thrilled. One hand with a death grip on my brother (who thought he was the ultimate warrior from WWE) and the other with a cigarette to take the edge off.”

Eight Is Enough
“Is this a promotional photo for a new ABC show about a dysfunctional family from the 90s? No, it’s my family! PS, I’m the one in the middle. Believe it or not, I actually requested my mom make me that outfit. Viva la purple sweatsuits.”

Dogface
“We had just moved to Arizona and our parents took us out to the desert to get a nice Christmas card photo with the family dog. This was the photo the card company printed on 200 cards.”
