Deck the Halls With These Awkward Family Holiday Photos

— -- Gathering together for holiday family photos can be fun, or it can be disaster.

Perhaps Uncle Larry had too much eggnog, or Aunt Sally insisted on everyone wearing her hand-knit Christmas sweaters, or maybe the little kids just couldn’t handle smiling for a single shot.

But that’s OK in the end, because ultimately, the internet loves awkward family photos.

The folks at AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com have done it again this year, compiling some of the funniest festive pics in all their holiday glory.

These photos are truly the gifts that keep on giving.

And if you haven’t giggled enough, the creators of AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, Mike Bender and Doug Chernack, also have a new book, "Everything Is Awkward," featuring hilariously awkward families and children.

The authors’ motto in life is “Awkward is kind of fun. And perfect is ... well, kind of boring.”

That couldn’t be more true in this hilarious new book “full of silly photos of families and kids that will leave everyone laughing,” according to the publisher.
