    The holidays are supposed to be a wonderful time of year. But mainly, they end up being terribly awkward and uncomfortable for either you or everyone around you. This collection of holiday photos will make you both laugh and cringe at the same time.

    Let's start off strong. There are so many things wrong with this picture, I don't even know where to start. Wait ... yes I do. The creeper in the snowman costume is holding two ferrets. Not one ferret. TWO. FERRETS.
