PICS: Awkward family holiday photos

It's the silly season and we're all meant to get festive and jolly, but these pics are just plain ridiculous.

Smosh.com knew exactly what they were doing when they posted this compilation of family holiday pics gone wrong, stating "No matter how cool you think you are, you've had to pose at some point with your family for some kind of holiday photo... by the tree... at the local photo studio... " We're cringing as we agree we've all had to pose for an Adams family-like portrait at some point or other. 

So if you were forced to be a victim in any similar situation highlighted below, we'd love to see your pics - email pics@traveller24.co.za, tweet us at @traveller24_sa, tag traveller24_sa on Instagram or get in touch on Facebook.


ROFL at this prank... 

This is still my favourite ever family photo. My mum did the "O". We told her we were going to write "Love". pic.twitter.com/PM5RqmZHwF

Then there is the family who attempts to do the choreographed beach scene...

Or any sort of waterscape scene really... "Yes, a group shot on the jetty down by the river should go down swimmingly."

But there is always the risk that things can go horribly wrong.

And best of all, this one sums it all up ... Happy holidays ya'll!
