It Depends

“The Santa display was sad, and Santa looks even sadder.”

“My parents like to make our Christmas cards ‘one to remember,’ so they came up with this idea. Two parents, seven kids, all in my parents bathtub! One of my brothers turned on the shower while we were all in there and no one could move to get out.”

The Year Of Burgundy

“Each year, our family bought new outfits to color coordinate with the Christmas tree. 1988 was the year of burgundy. My dad did such a fantastic job with the lighting for this photo, it’s almost as though he was a professional photographer. Evidently, I was the only one truly happy to be there. I knew the Nintendo Power Pad was waiting for me under that tree.”

Wunderbras

“When I was a kid, my mom, who is a seamstress, would make funky gifts every year for Christmas. Some time in the late 80s, she got her hands on some giant men’s underwear and made sports bra’s out of them. Hence, my two aunts and grandma modeling them on Christmas Eve. This is just one of many awkward Christmas eve photos.”

The Appetizer

“I was five and my brother was 18 months old and he thought candles were probably something interesting to eat.”

Oh Deer

“My great-great grandpa had a pet deer and a pet bear. Guess the bear was in the woods.”

Casual Christmas

“My dad notoriously has never worn pajamas. My mom struggled to get him to wear a robe, too. Christmas mornings in the 80s he would eventually throw something on when my grandparents knocked on the door. Fortunately for us, he started putting pants on a few years ago for Christmas morning. Because now he gets cold.”
