Family Day

There are 4 provinces that officially celebrate Family Day, typically held the third Monday in February in Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan, while British Columbia celebrates their Family Day on the second Monday of the month. No other provinces hold to this holiday though Manitoba does also have a civic holiday on the third Monday of this month, though this is Louis Riel Day, which is another story unto itself.
Alberta was the first province to introduce this holiday back in 1990, in observance of the importance of family and community, but it is significant to note that until this time, there were no civic holidays between New Year's Day and Easter, a long stretch of about 15 weeks and mostly cold and snowy days with short daylight hours. Certainly an official day off in the middle of that never hurts when considering that combination of dreary things that can affect your wellness.
Of course, as with anything on the internet these days, when you search for information you always get the stuff that you never really wanted to get, some creepy, some funny and some both!! haha! For a chuckle, here's an interesting selection of awkward family photos of which there were literally thousands in which to choose.

Might be fine if it wasn't for the hovering Pug heads

Not sure why they all had to be topless, well, all but the totally disinterested and seemingly irrelevant child in front

Maybe the mask was the only way to get this kid to cooperate

Hmmm...mullets, acid wash denim, laser beams and that awesome facial expression!

The kid in the back looks a bit wooden 

When you see it!

Yes, nothing like a family underwear shot

This family likes to monkey around

There's a lot going on here, but the chicken is a nice touch.

Christmas is always good for some creative family pix

A family that smokes together, dies together
