Ten Photos: The More The Merrier

Andrea Mowery

Now that the holidays are here, it’s time to think about all the people you will be spending time with. Family members, young and old.  Good friends.  Frenemies who always show up at the same holiday parties you’re invited to.  Co-workers who consistently steal your advancement opportunities.  Pompous colleagues.  Your weird Aunt Sally.

Panic attacks are optional.

In the spirit of togetherness, I searched for photos using terms that indicated groups of people.  What I found made me feel better about spending the holidays with the group of misfits that surround me.

 Solo party with creepy Santa?  No thanks, I’m good.

 This picture would make me laugh harder if it didn’t remind me so much of that one embarrassing work party that I don’t remember so well.

 A bagel necklace and huge bread guarantees that your toddler will always be satisfied at mealtimes.

Why didn’t I think of this when my kids were little?

 Because nothing screams “family” like a dog as your dinner date.

 Poor guy.  Though I guess if you have to make someone sit in the back during a road trip,

it’s best that it’s the one who won’t ask you to charge his iPhone fifty times.

Girls telling secrets

 Her secret is that she just fed the bear a snack:

Her baby sister.

 Her secret is that she watches you when you are sleeping.

And pretty much when you’re awake, too.
