We’ve all been there: The whole family is getting ready to take the annual holiday card photo. Everyone is adorned in matching sweaters and reindeer antlers – even the cats. Everyone says “cheese” for the big moment… then Grandma’s dentures fall out. Hello, Family Christmas Card 2015.

Along with the giant family gatherings, tacky holiday garb, visits with Santa, and holiday photo ops inevitably come some pretty hilarious, awkward + cringe-worthy holiday moments…captured on film for countless years to come. Still laughing *with you,* Grandma.

To offer you a comedic break amidst the hustling holiday season, we’ve gathered some of our most awkward holiday photos (a la Awkward Family Photos).

With all this embarrassment, I think we deserve a Christmas photo retake. But if you’d like to grace us with some of your awkward holiday photos, we wouldn’t be opposed. Send them our way.
