My family takes Christmas pictures every single year, without fail. Ours are usually pretty good and sometimes my mom turns down funny ones because of reasons like "you can't see your face" or "no, we can't use a Photoshopped picture of your cousin on a dog's body breathing fire on the Christmas card."

If you need ideas for your holiday card, I would suggest not following in the following families' footsteps.

Unnecessary nakedness

Why does just one person, namely the patriarch of the family, not have any clothes on? He looks just as uncomfortable as some recipients probably were.

Future NRA members

Hotly debated political topics, like abortion and gun control, should be avoided at family dinners, first dates and Christmas cards. Spreading holiday fear, I see.

You'd better not shout, you'd better not... fart?

The son's face says it all. (He probably farted.)

Veggie Tales

No, Larry should NOT be eaten, or used as a writing utensil.

A family that goes naked together stays together?

I only have one thing to say: at what point did you think it was OK to get this naked with your children and then stand in close proximity and take a picture to send to relatives and friends?

I saw Mommy getting spanked by... Daddy dressed as Santa Clause?

Please let me know how Grandma reacted to this one.

The Birth of... hopefully not our Savior.

While I have a great appreciation for this humorous effort, I think recreating a birth, especially if this is for a family card, is pushing the baby envelope a little far.

Gangsta Wrap for Granny

I don't think Granny will get these hip references...

I wonder what the reaction was from the recipients of all these cards. What's the worst card you've seen? Leave a comment below!
