This family of three was just trying to take cute pictures for their Christmas cards on their own. They did all the right things: get in their matching jammies, make sure their hair was on fleek, and set up a camera timer. Somehow, this is what they ended up with.
The thing the girl in the middle is holding is the camera remote, which begs the question: how did you not sense the sneeze coming before you pressed that button? This is why you get a pro, people! There is always the chance that she just pulled that face to be cool. But next time, they should all agree on a mutual pose.
Scary Santa
This awkward photo is brought to us courtesy of actress and model Amber Valletta. While this girl grew up to be very comfortable in front of the camera, the same thing cannot be said about her baby brother.
We might be a little unfair here, though. Looking at this Santa, we think sitting on his lap would have made us look even more awkward than this little boy. Truth be told, guys dressed up as Santa have gotten a bit of a bad rep over the last few years. The creepy look this dad is pulling doesn't do the bearded hero of Christmas any favors.
A Very LA Christmas
This guy’s family was nervous about the impact his move to Los Angeles would have on his lifestyle and morals.
He sent them this card to let them know that everything was A-Okay.
Keepers of the Baby
We all know that animals can sometimes be better judges of character than most people and it looks like that's exactly the case with the two pooches right here. They say that dogs are not just for Christmas, but they can certainly get in on the act too!
Trying to save the little innocent baby from the hands of the big red man (Satan Claws, maybe?), they will pay whatever cost to make sure their job is done. Even if that cost is ruining the family photo. And besides, it looks like the photo would have been ruined one way or another with Dad's creepy smile.
Is That What They Call a Power Pose?
The girl is still learning how to pose. She is in that awkward phase when you start being aware of the way you hold your body, which, obviously makes you hold it in the most unnatural ways. Kids can pull the most awkward faces during family photos.
So these parents shouldn't have been too surprised when this is what their youngest daughter came up with. Don't worry, kiddo, this will blow over in no time. And until it does, collect all these photos. This way you can warn your own kids about the dangers of puberty when the time is right.
