    There's just no way around it. The holidays are always awkward, no matter who you are or what you celebrate. When Uncle Howard whips out his camera and asks for a family photo-op, that is how the magic (and humiliation) happens. Altogether, it's the perfect recipe for an awesomely awkward family pet photo. Here are some of our holiday favorites. 

    THE MUTT THE MERRIER 

    One is the loneliest number.
