We’re going to ignore the fact that the son on the right is clearly a vampire. Also, we have to ask one question: Why is Dad not wearing a hat? Did it float up to the surface? To be honest, we could ask plenty more questions about this hilarious family Christmas card photo.
But this is the mystery we really need answers to! One option is that he doesn’t want the hat to block Mom from view. Another option is that he is fully aware of how stupid this all looks and that’s as far as he was willing to cooperate. We’re gonna go with option two.
Why the Goat?
Some things just need to be in a picture to make it Christmas-cardable. Surprisingly, as this article teaches us, an occasional awkward face doesn't mean scrapping the picture. The family needs to be there, the tree needs to be there, and the holiday color scheme needs to be there.
Things like ornaments or presents are nice to have but not mandatory. A toy goat does not need to be there, but it didn't stop this family from having one. And to be fair, it did capture the essence of the holiday, with Jesus being the lamb of God and all.
The Famous Tree Stand
We are not sure where this family lives, or if this is even their house, but that tree is absolutely enormous. No wonder they all felt like they had to honor it by performing this impromptu tree stand.
They even tried to kind of shape themselves like a Christmas tree. They get an 'A' for effort.
Ho Ho Ho in the Snow
This Canadian family is committed to their holiday card. Not only did they move all of their stuff outside into the snow, but they were also sitting calmly in robes in below-zero temperatures.
The card did come out pretty cool though. And at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters when it comes to Christmas family cards?
Zoom Life Has Gone Too Far
The last few years have marked the beginning of standardizing remote work protocols. After too many people became used to attending classes and meetings via video chat, dressing their bottom half seemed useless.
Business suits — out. Button-downs with boxer shorts — in. This family took the concept a tad too far if you ask us. Nobody needs to know the horrors that Dad's camping booties have seen. Because let's face it, if we can't be casual on Christmas, then when can we? And now that people are more casual than ever before, this kind of photo should come as no surprise.
