Photos show festive spirit is lost on some families

The festive season is in full swing, and nothing says Christmas more than posing for photos with loved ones and yuletide decorations.

But as this gallery of awkward and inappropriate photographs perfectly demonstrates, the seasonal snap can go very, very wrong.

For many of us it is obvious that taking a picture in front of the Christmas tree while wearing just a bra is a bit odd, but it is made all the more bemusing when posing with your newborn in your arms.

Other not-so-festive photographs feature young children holding on to guns, wreaths made out of alcohol bottles and a bizarre Christmas tree decorated with snake skins.

In a bid to capture the perfect festive moments, it is fair to say that these families have been left with less-than-perfect albums.

Another creative wreath, this time composed of alcohol and other bottles

The Christmas season brings out the creative side in many of us, but these attempts (left, one made of bullets, and right, of used alcohol and water bottles) are maybe a step too far

It wouldn't be wise to wear these rude Christmas jumpers to work or around your older relatives, with slogans that would also be hard to explain to the children
