Christmas
Crash
“This Christmas picture is one of my favorites..1999. Our son is in his terrible twos here. We were all posed for the annual picture, had the timer set on the camera and our son falls off the stool. His hand is in his sister’s face. Susie and I are trying to catch him and Susie is screaming something….I’ll let you fill in that blank.”

Centerpiece
“Every year, we made a family Christmas card that involved us acting out a particular theme that we selected for that year. This particular year, we chose to pull from the story of The Grinch.”

Take Two
“These two photos are from circa ’85. Though my parents had divorced several years earlier, my father came over to my mom’s house so we could take our Christmas Card pictures. One photo for Dad to send to his friends and family, and a different photo for Mom to send to hers. Dad thought it would be a great idea for me to stick my hand out of frame so as to imply that Mom, or in the other photo, Dad, was standing just outside the shot. I also really like how the background was meticulously chosen over, say, a shrub or maybe a grill. Here we are, um, in our backyard.”

Very Bad Santa
“My Mom took my brother, sister and I to the mall to get a “nice” Santa photo taken. When she picked up the photo, she was outraged.”

The Jumpseat
“While my sister knew that Santa was the one who brought presents at Christmas, I apparently did not. He looks as thrilled to have me on his lap as I was.”
