A standard of the holidays is the family Christmas card. Mom gets all the kids together. Dad is pissed, and someone is always crying. The photo is considered a success if everyone's heads are included and half the family is showing their teeth. Some families fall on the opposite end of the spectrum. There are animals in Santa hats, matching onesies, and enough naked parents to single-handedly finance the therapy industry.

If you escaped Christmas without posing for a staged photo (with costumes!), check out the 25 most awkward family photos ever to grace the Internet, and be thankful it wasn't you.
