I don't see it in the great majority of these photos...

I agree with othes that a lot of these look pretty normal. The opening one looks quite nice, even though Mom may have a bad sun tan. Some are funny, though...I like the Christmas tree forest. I don't see anything wrong with a family dressed in the same sweaters. Corny to some, but not bad enough to put here.

Only a few were awkward, The boy peeing his pants while looking scared at Santa, The electrical chord chewing, Bozo the clown next to santa, and the fig leaf family, Maybe I missed some details of the other photos but awkward they were not. Of course the first one the lady had a sunburn but not awkward.

I wonder what the fig leaves family think about this photo now.

Did they send it to HuffPo or did one of their recipients?

I don't know, but I couldn't help but notice that the mom has a damn nice body for having had two kids.

These gave me such a headache--they look so normal to me--I need help! ;P

WOW. LOVE THESE. I'VE RECEIVED SOME PRETY BAD XMAS CARDS IN MY DAY.

Just because the photo was from the 70s, 80s or 90s doesn't make it awkward... most of these looked pretty fun-loving actually. You know, except for the fig leaf one.

I'm sorry, but the one with the kid chewing on the electrical cord is the BEST!

I think so too. Not to be mean--and I do hope that nothing unpleasant occurred--but that really made me laugh.

The one with the clown is more terrifying that awkward. And the nude one? Oh so very wrong

Ah, the joys of a hillbilly Christmas. The pet -or could it be Christmas dinner later- possum and the barrel of moonshine in the kitchen.

Sorry. Did NOT indicate which picture:

Bwahaha, they are mall rats from Neshaminy mall in PA. I used to see these characters often being a former arcade rat myself. What a blast from the past, merry x-mas to me.

I would call them "mall-goths".

You know, as much as I do NOT wear clothes that cost more then $10.00 on a daily basis, and I can't stand that one jackhole that memorized the corporate dress code manual, there is something called wearing something appropriate for the occasion... Just saying...
