The Appetizer

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

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.”

The Santa Experiment

“When I was a little kid, my mom had the idea to style my cousin into Santa Claus one year. The experiment went wrong.”

Dog Sitter

“Resentment at it’s finest…not sure if it’s from the elf costume or for us bringing home this baby!”

Deck The Halley’s

“This is not a picture of terrified 6-yr-old me being held hostage by Santa Claus and his not-so-little helper, but actually a real holiday photo shoot at a toy store during Christmas season in 1985. In case you’re wondering what Santa’s helper was wearing, it was a Halley’s Comet-inspired costume because Halley’s Comet was all the rage in 1985.”

Christmas Inferno

“Taken at my parents’ house. We were relaxing by the fire when I saw smoke coming out of the wall. The firefighters showed up and smashed a hole in the wall (pictured) to put out the fire. When we were finally allowed back inside to eat dinner, my mom snapped this candid.”
