Christmas used to be a private party. Families met - ate, laughed and argued. And the uncle took the pictures, which were then viewed in January.
Today, Christmas takes place almost in public. Thousands of people upload photos from their living rooms on Facebook, Twitter and above all on Instagram. Or from their Christmas vacation at the other end of the world.
And so the interested viewer has the opportunity to be almost directly with the neighbor or a completely alien family. But not all photos may be considered successful: Some seem - unwanted or wanted - funny.
The following Instagram post by Kevin Trapp for example, goalkeeper of Eintracht Frankfurt. Short commentary on Twitter: "Herrje".

The HSV footballer Pierre-Michel Lasogga amazes his fans with a rather crude image editing: He poses with his partner and child in front of the Christmas tree and protects the privacy of the child with a black line over his face.

I woke up especially early this morning. Watching the sunrise on Christmas Day.
I'd like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

Finally, there are several photos that document an apparently important trend for Christmas: the partner look under the Christmas tree. Many thanks to Anja Rützel for the inspiration!
