Many of us spend our holidays surrounded by family, whether it is parents, kids, uncles, aunts, or the chosen family of close friends. And a lot of the times, while connecting and mingling, we engage in various family traditions. Those might be making Ponche Navideño together, singing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, or going out for a walk to see the local holiday decorations.

A common family tradition is also snapping a picture of all that have gathered to celebrate together. However, sometimes, instead of reflecting holiday warmth and harmony, the pictures capture intense chaos. The following list of family pictures only proves that. People sneezing mid-shot, dogs fighting, and babies falling out of parents' arms—all captivating stuff. Scroll down to see it all for yourself.

    That Time Drake Photobombed My Family's Photograph

    Group of four at a rustic restaurant table, all smiling, with a casual atmosphere.

    "This is 2-3 years ago. My family and I were sitting in this restaurant (Gjelina in Venice Beach) and having dinner when in walked Drake. He sat at the table directly behind us. All of a sudden, Rihanna walked in and sat with Drake. Now, I have Rihanna and Drake sitting a few feet away from me and I am trying to act normal and just give them their space. I am a photographer, so when the waiter came, I asked him to take a family picture of us from a certain angle to get all of us in it. He took two pictures and then handed the camera back to me. I went to look at how the picture came out. As soon as it popped up on the camera, I saw this picture and started laughing out loud. I slowly turned towards Drake and there he was, facing me completely and just said, "You like how those pictures came out?"
