Family photos are often weird or embarrassing, but some cross the line into unreleasable.

Regardless, some people make the bold choice to put their creepiest, strangest and most awkward moments as a family out into the world, when they really, really shouldn’t have. Witness pics of a family of puppets, some potentially murderous children, awful haircuts and more that probably should’ve been burned upon first viewing.

Sometimes, it’s best to just admit defeat and hope next year's photo is better.
