Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.
But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.
Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.
Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Friday’s commemorative train left Picton, stopping in Blenheim to pick up Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and other guests. The train was welcomed into Kaikoura with cheers and applause from locals.
In Kaikoura, the Prime Minister announced an additional $40m in funding for the service, adding a new 63-seat carriage and a premium luxury carriage. The new funding allows the service to become year-round and to upgrade its reservation system. The full service resumes from Saturday 1 December.

It’s an intensive 37-week residential programme, based near Taupo, which combines theory, practical training and on-farm experience based around the Massey University Diploma in Agriculture (Level 5). To find out more and to enrol, visit the Taratahi website.
We love poppies, and this Tibetan blue (Meconopsis betonicifolia) is especially eye-catching. They are available from a number of nurseries, including Blue Mountain in Tapanui.
