Famous Politicians Wear Terrible Holiday Jumpers In Awkward Festive Family Photos

Ah, the festive season. A time to enjoy family gatherings and take beautifully conceived family snaps, with all our nearest and dearest gathered around a shining Christmas tree, waving at the camera in hand-knit jumpers or posing serenely in a snowy landscape.

At least that's what it looks like in our imagination. In reality, family photos usually look a little corny, there's always someone always has their eyes closed, and those hand-knit jumpers shouldn't be worn by anyone, let alone a happy, sane family. The awkward or hilariously bad holiday photo is a curse most humans have to contend with at least once in their lives.

Believe it or not, politicians are human too, and we're willing to bet their holiday shots turn out a bit strange once in a while as well. But why bet when we can see for ourselves? With more than 500,000 designer wizards in our community, we can make our favorite visions become a reality in no time.

This time, we asked photoshop experts to show us what our world leaders are up to over the holidays. And it's pretty obvious from the awesome results, their holidays won't look that different from everybody else. Enjoy!
