Once the first couple of holiday parties have passed, and the stress of shopping and travel kick in, the magic of Christmas starts to dull a little.
Here you are, trying to enjoy a candy cane and Nat King Cole, and the holidays have become a never-ending to-do list that just won't let up. And what's at the end of all the hustle and bustle? A rushed, chaotic evening with your entire crazy extended family.
Never fear, because you're not alone. Take a deep breath, and remember that your Christmas could always be a little bit crazier, and a lot weirder. After all, that's how stock photography has perceived this season.
