33 Ways a Photo with Santa Can Go Wrong! Click through--these are the most EPIC SANTA FAILS I have ever seen on Christmas cards.

A few weeks ago I launched a contest with Munchkin to find the best family holiday photo fails. We got so many submissions that I decided to split the entries into two categories— “family photo shoots gone awry” and “kids who hate Santa”.

Munchkin agreed to give away an additional $250 Munchkin gift card + prize pack (see details at end of the post) so we are going to have two grand prize winners! Woohoo!

I’ll start with Santa fails. Is it just me or do more kids cry on Santa’s lap than not? I can’t even remember the last time I saw a Santa photo with everybody smiling. I also believe holiday cards would be so much more fun if we all used photos of our kids looking miserable, so I took the liberty of making these EPIC SANTA FAILS into Christmas cards.

Here are 33 ways a Santa photo can go wrong.

My six favorite photos are are at the end vying for the grand prize so don’t forget to vote!
