St. John’s got dumped on by 35 cm of snow today, so the roommates and I stayed inside, lit up the fireplace, made pea soup and dumplings, drank minty tea, and decorated the household.
Then we decided we had to share our holiday fun with our loved ones!! If you guys would like me to mail one of these family photos to you, please email with your name, address, desired photo size and a cheque for $20/photo.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have no friggen idea how hard it was not to laugh through this. I couldn’t stop doubling over with tears streaming down my face, it was just so ridiculous. The best part? People are totally taking this seriously on Facebook.
Ridiculous weekend. Updates later.

too funny, haha. We never did Christmas portraits in my family, my parents were all about the candid shots of family members being excited opening a present, or even better, trying to fake excitement “you got me THIS, oh wow, I mean… wow. ya. I’m just gonna put it down over here…”
I believe it’s now called “present face”

I love these photos! And I am looking very forward to seeing the somber gravity with which you treat New Year’s Eve. I hope it is not too depressing for you.

Hi Candice. Sorry for the delay in responding to your posts. Was tied up with holiday prep work and all that.
I really enjoyed those pictures. I can never keep a straight face either.

@Chris: http://www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com was our inspiration
@J: Hahahaha, the photo album we made was one big mockery with lots of capitalization and “LOLZ”
@Abbie: We’re kinda like them, but drunk more often
@Alana: Hahahahahahaha, “present face.” totally guilty of that
@V: <3
@Linlah: Good point, I'd love to stick one of those in a little Christmas card to send out
@LiLu: Seriously!!
@Carissa: Ooooh you have to! I wanna see
@Sabina: Bahahaha, I totally hate New Years. I'm hoping someone will ask me to babysit so I don't have to deal with it
@Cammy: Thanks!
@CC: Don't worry about it, I totally know the deal! In between photo takes we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe

Why? Why must I be so late with the commenting? Why have I been so neglecting of one of my favorite bloggers EVER? The answer is I am a bad, bad girl who deserves to be punished.
I love, love these holiday photos. Can I like scan myself in the background?
