Why Funny Christmas Shirts for Family Work So Well
Classic red-and-green matching outfits are sweet, but a joke on the shirt gets real smiles in photos. A funny design also gives relatives something to talk about at the table, and it works for more than one day: wear it on Christmas morning, at the airport, on a cruise sea day or on a road trip stop. The trick is choosing one theme for the whole family so the shirts still look like a set, even when each person picks a different joke.

Tips for Choosing Matching Family Christmas Shirts
- Pick one theme, mix the jokes. A cruise family can mix Santa Pool Day, Elf Buffet and Fa La La Lounging and still look like a set.
- Choose light colors for photos. White, Ivory and Bay make colorful prints stand out in pictures, especially indoors.
- Think about the weather. T-shirts for beaches and ships, sweatshirts for road trips, cabins and chilly evenings.
- Check sizes early. Look at the size chart on each product page for adults, kids, toddlers and babies before you order.
- Order with time to spare. Shirts are printed to order, so place your order well before your trip or family photo day.
- Personalize it. Add your family name and the year so the shirts become a keepsake from this Christmas.
