It's the most wonderful tiiiiiime of the year....  OR IS IT?

The holidays are a magical time of year, when families come together to bond, reminisce, and maybe even pose for a nice group photo while everybody is home. It's all well and good when a family decides to take a unique Christmas picture... but sometimes these photo shoots don't always go exactly as planned!  From horribly bad timing to just plain bad taste, these are twenty of the most hilariously awkward family photos ever taken.

Merry Christmas from the trashiest family you know. We're talking real pieces of garbage.

Seriously, what were they thinking?!

As dorky as this image may be (and oh yes, it be dorky), you've got to hand it to a dad who commits like this. It's one thing to say you'll dress up like the Grinch for a Christmas card; it's quite another to cover your entire face in green paint and wear a skin-tight morphsuit.

What are you laughing at? That cat IS his family, and they're clearly very close.

Don't judge.

(Just kidding, judge away! This pic is is straight from Crazy Town..)

Photobomb level: Infinite! There's nothing like a pair of humping dogs to really spice up a family portrait.

Let's all just be glad that he's not choking his chicken, because that might be awkward. Okay, more awkward.

Families come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and species. Thankfully for this fellow, ugly Christmas sweaters also come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.

I see Dad decided to go au naturale for this year's Christmas card. When you can't wear your birthday suit, there are always these  ugly Christmas suits to consider.

That baby is saying it ALL with his face.  We feel your pain, little guy. Sorry your parents have questionable judgment.

The 'deer-in-headlights' expression on the kid's face raises the funny factor of this card from okay to epic.  He looks like he just realized that thanks to the internet, this picture will haunt him forever.

Repeat after me: Nudity is not acceptable on your annual family Christmas photo.  Ever.  Not even if you wear strategically-placed fig leaves! I'm talking to YOU, Dad.

Nothing says "Holiday Cheer" quite like a terrible taxidermy of one animal being attacked by another. Pass the eggnog?

Wow, he really busted out his classiest tee shirt to have his picture taken with the big man, didn't he?  What a winner. I wonder if he's single.

What did I tell you about the nudity, people? STAHP.

That poor, poor cat.  Even he knows that there is nothing normal about his owner's choice of this "topless in a Christmas tree" theme.

Well, on the bright side, at least their Great Aunt Judy doesn't have any trouble telling these brothers apart any more. 

(Too bad, because that always made for the best pranks.)

And lo, Mary and Joseph looked down upon the infant in the manger, and Joseph said, "Holy crap, what the hell is that? That's it!  I'm out of here."
