yikes. the A-Team is creepy with the Photoshop’d children (what, are they all dead and couldn’t make the shoot?) and that the woman’s right jug is hanging out of some costume and the other is, wait, there it is . . . it’s her husband’s head.
Sadly the last one looks the most like my current situation. All I need is a dog and twenty years to get gray and dull.

Woah.
At first I was prepared to see pics that you guys photoshopped… you know, haha funny and such. But these are real. That scares the shit out of me!!! I don’t know which one’s worst.
Is that an OCD thing that only I have? When there’s like.. a list of something, I HAVE to put it in some type of order in my head? I can’t just look at it and be all “oh cool”. I have to mentally sort them?
Ok the more I try to explain myself the crazier I realize I am, so I’ma just go back up there and pick a worst so that I can have peace within myself.
They’re all just so BAD it’s hard.
The first one.
I think it’s a combination of her blush (I’m assuming that is what I’m seeing on her face) and his overly enthusiastic smile, coupled with the fact that he’s one of those people that not only thinks his puppy calls his “dad”. I confess… I did utter the words, “Did you miss mama??” to the new puppy this weekend, but if you saw it, you would have too. I do NOT however, have plans on putting his face on a shirt, much less wearing it. But I mean, his sweatshirt too??
She’s rocking the side ponytail (Hello, 1987. We’ve missed you!) along WITH her festive antlers. And what the fuck kind of bone is that protruding from his hand!?!?
Deformities freak me right out. Thank God I’m perfect. (that was sarcasm, don’t jump my shit)

The first picture, doesn’t it look like they’re holding the puppy hostage?

I hope html works here.
While I agree that these are the 10 worst, I do believe I accidently stumbled upon #11
And if html doesn’t work… the link is here:

Please note their eyes, once you can tear your own eyes away from all that yarn.
Seriously? If you have a “professional” (and I use that term loosely) photo shoot for your card and the BEST you can come up with is one where you ALL blinked when it flashed… you are all mentally retarded. That’s not being “not PC”. That’s jut plain ol’ common sense, folks.

Queueman, I totally agree. Poor puppy

Everytime I see this page it reminds me of the whole “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party” phenomenon. Seriously… is there ONE person in existance who either hasn’t attended or at least doesn’t KNOW anyone who has? It seems to have just sprung (sprang? sprung? springed? no I’m kidding, I know it isn’t springed… I think) up out of the woodwork last Christmas?
Well we’re doing it this year. And I dare say that some people may go blind. I was rather proud of my outfit until I put it on and saw that I was so perfectly color coordinated that instead of looking “funny” I just looked like that lameass school teacher we all had that wore the applique sweaters. Or a soccer mom… which is like… my worst fear EVER (becoming one of those moms). I’d never actually intentionally purchase anything like that, but when I put it on, it just looked rather dorky, but not crazypants (though my metallic gold undershirt is a WINNER). My daughters decided they wanted to play along, and the outfit my oldest one (16) found is soooooo bad. Like… I don’t think I could have come up with the idea for that design if I had worked on it for 5 years. AND it comes with matching pants/leggings. The base color is purple. I’ll just leave it at that…. that’s enough to make a person want to shoot themselves in the head.
We plan on putting our outfits on and wearing them when we come up to my fella’s house for Christmas and just like… not acknowledging that we are dressed like idiots just to see if he notices and comments on how ugly they are. Or if he tries to be sweet and says I look beautiful.
Sadly, if he said it, he’d mean it. He’s not a fashion plate. He’s a turkey hunter. So we have to cut him a LITTLE slack in this department.
When I got my ugly sweater ensemble from the thrift store, the sweet little volunteer worker lady (no younger than 85 I am POSITIVE) was so excited for me and wanted to know where I was wearing it and telling me how beautiful it would look on me and how everyone will be so jealous. I didn’t have the heart to tell her it was a joke sweater, so I gritted my teeth and smiled and made up a story about a work Christmas party. I just couldn’t break her heart like that. She truly LOVED my sweater. She said she’d tried it on a bunch of times but it was just too big (she had to weigh like… 90 lbs… she was SO frail) but she sure was happy to see it go to “such a good home”. Oh yeah, I’m keeping it like a puppy. It got washed immediately and is now crumpled up in a bag somewhere in my bedroom amongst all the presents I have to wrap.

Testing my gravatar theory. So I can be at fucking peace and stop wondering wtf is going on. If my pic shows up this time… it is MY fault because I had typed my email address starting with a capital letter (cause it’s my name, duh) and they want you to use all lowercase. My account IS typed in all lowercase so they see no problem. Therefore, it is my problem and I am going to fix it dammit.

Are the happy people dressed as Mary, Joseph, baby, and Roman guy implying that their oldest child is supposed to order the death of the one in her lap?

These Canadian Christmas cards are, well, Canadian. I especially like the one with the family in medieval princess attire, with the “father” chomping the stogie. Isn’t he running for PM?

I can’t quit looking at them
I have decided that I most hate the “Silly” Davis family. I loathe people who THINK they’re all woohoo and wacky when really they’re just fucktards.
No, I did not have my nap today.

hah, I’m with you, Lydia, I had to come back and, yes, it’s worse than I remembered.

Do you people realize the “silly” Davis family is a celebrity photographer? I think they just like to be different and fun. Wow, really doesn’t compare to the others………maybe someone here is having a bad day……That is all.
