Ridiculously awkward Christmas photos

• Season's beatings

  Who ever did that to Father Christmas is definitely NOT getting any presents this year!

• Different strokes

  The kids were given a choice - go with the matchy matchy red suits that mum and dad were donning so elegantly...or stick on the swimming costumes. To this day nobody's been able to work out if that was the right choice or not.

• Three's company

  Looking forward to Channel 4's new documentary - Dispatches: The life of a polyamorous Father Christmas.

• Oh my goth!

  They're dreaming of a black Christmas...

• I'm a survivor!

  The Robinson's family boat crashed onto a unknown desert island. They were left with nothing. They had no hope. But thankfully the Christmas hats survived the crash.

• Family presents

  Yeah yeah that's right, just get in the box...what? The Outer Mongolia post mark? Oh no, no don't worry about that it's nothing. Yeah that's right just get nice and comfy...you may be in there a while...

• Let's go clubbing

  The golf clubs Dad gave Mum for Christmas finially came in handy!

• To tree or not to tree

  That was the last anyone saw of little Jimmy, it was only a second later that the tree engulfed him.

• Daddy's onesie

  When he was young Father Christmas had to work two jobs: present giver and circus contortionist.

• Cookie monster

  You must eat one of her biscuits or she'll make you wear the Christmas vest too...aaaaah!

• Objection of affection

  It’s 2:26 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Judging from the vicar’s face, they’ll be annulled by New Year’s.

• Hide the Yule log

  We’re glad they’re not posing under the mistletoe

• Matchy-Match

   

  Every family alls into ugly patterns at times - especially around the Christmas. Ba boom.

• Black sheep

  Nobody ever wanted to sit on Uncle Christmas' lap, it had always been tough being Father Christmas' brother.

• What a Catch

  Father Christmas was expecting biscuits on Christmas Eve. But something smelt fishy about this family's offerings.

• The more masked the merrier

  They’re all ready for Christmas - and an impending biological disaster.

• Send in the creepy clown

  Father Christmas falling asleep and he needs backup...from Bozo? Let's hope he dosen't wake up and scare himself half to death. Then they'll be no presents for anyone...

• Pyjama party

  What you don't know is it may be all 'sleep town' on the outside, but under those flanel nighties is all 'party time!'

• Star Wars vs. Charlie's Angels

  The cardboard cutouts are from Star Wars; the poses are from Charlie’s Angels. The result: this seriously confused Christmas photo.

• Totally Scrooged

  What 'chu lookin' at, Father Christmas?

• Distant relative

  A rebel without a Claus at age three

• Thank you, mother nature

  It’s snowing men. Hallelujah, it’s snowing men! Amen!

• Cheer in headlights

  Clearly Christmas blindsided this family.

• Bath time warp

  Because nothing says Christmas in the ‘70s like a communal family tub.

• Tongue tied

  That must have been some pretty strong mistletoe.

• The light of their life

  Charile's parents always got confused between him and the Christmas tree.

• I spy Father Christmas

  He used to be in MI5 and old hiding habits die hard.
