17 Christmas photos that need a reshoot

We've all been there before. Closed eyes. Bad lighting. Unflattering poses.

There's something particularly pressure-filled about taking photos during Christmas. You want to capture all of the joy of the season, but sometimes there's that one uncle who just can't keep his eyes open -- and your photos are ruined.

We've rounded up some of the worst Christmas photos that deserve to be reshot with a better camera -- and maybe a more photogenic family but we can't really help you there. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 helps everyone take brighter, wider selfies, and more easily because its improved front camera can capture more light than before. So even under low light you will get brighter, sharper images. And with the wide selfie mode, you won't cut any of your loved ones from your group selfie.

Additionally, with the S Pen of the Galaxy Note 4 you can write a memo or message right on the photo you've just taken -- so voilà, you have a mobile Christmas card you can send to friends and family.

After all of the hard work that went into making these Christmas decorations, it was all for naught. Should have had a phone with a better camera.

Make sure you have a wide-angle lens this Christmas so you aren't cutting anyone out of your photos.

3. Tree selfie

Selfies with Christmas trees, okay. Just make sure your clearly fake tree isn't about to poke you in the eye.

4. Man with doll in robe, and bulldog in sweater

We just really don't know what to say about this.

5. Hanukkah tree

We like the creativity, too bad the lighting is so poor.

6. Worst group selfie ever

Next year, don't cut out anyone from your group selfies -- get a smartphone that will let you take wide selfies instead of taking photos on your computer, which clearly isn't working out for you.

7. Awkward husband

Whoever was taking this photo should have told the husband how awkward he looks. Better poses next year, please.

8. That's a wrap

I know your parents always say that to them, you are a gift -- but that doesn't mean they have to wrap you up, as actual gifts.

9. Don't cut out dad

Don't leave any of your family members out of your #santaselfie this year -- everyone should get to relive those memories.

10. Christmas selfie fail

Good effort here; too bad your camera ruined the photo.

No wonder these children look terrified. They're forced to make Christmas cards like this one.

13. Baby claus

This baby Claus photo could have been on-point, if only his father had used a better filter.

14. Sad Christmas tree

Come on, we know you can do better than this.

We're not really sure what she was going for here, but it's not really working.

16. Christmas cats

Although we appreciate the oddity of this photo, the cats look like they're seriously about to attack someone.

17. Horse selfie
