Once Christmastime rolls around you get the sudden urge to share—or burn—your awkward holiday photos. If you're a celebrity, however, you don't get much of an option to toss out those Ghosts of Christmas Past; those images haunt them each and every year. And we're eager to flip through their painful memories and (hopefully) forget about our own embarrassing old Christmas cards.

Scroll down and check out our gallery of hilariously awkward and festive AF celebrity photos from Christmases of Yesteryear.

Destiny's Child

It's the turn of the millenium and Beyoncé is already 110% over the other two members of Destiny's Child, Not-Beyonce and I-Don't-Care. Like an angel, she graces us with some first class side-eye, perfectly executed shade that should be shared each and every Yule season.

Gwen Stefani

It's also the turn of the millennium and Blake Shelton is several musical genres away from Gwen's world. Instead, she seems to have adopted two very eager and festive female love slaves, one of which decided that fire engine red cornrows were a good look.

Ariana Grande

This was Ariana Grande and Santa's engagement announcement in the New York Times, right? That's the only explanation for this.

Paris and Nicki Hilton

There's something satisfying about seeing Paris, at the height of her supreme thot powers, on Santa's lap, but that's not why we love this. We can't get over the fact that she and Nicki are holding copies of The Sims Online. Talk about a Christmas present throwback, do you guys remember that? It was like the Sims but everyone you're interacting with is like an IRL person, which… sort of defeats the general anti-social, be-your-own-God nature of The Sims.

Well, whatever, it's not like they ever played.

Britney Spears

With that expression, Brit-Brit looks likes she's about to detonate off a holly jolly bomb. But uh, that's probably not the sitch, it might be something more innocuous like a tree-lighting.

Miley Cyrus and Pete Wentz

We're really loving this fun photo of pre-crazy Miley and everyone's Myspace King emo boyfriend. Like, is there any other shot that plainly says, "Merry Christmas From 2008?"

Holly Madison

We'd think that her time with the late Hugh Hefner would prepare her for rides with old-as-dirt men like Santa Claus, and there she is, giving that old Beyoncé side-eye.

Mariah Carey

You got to get a picture of the Christmas Queen herself, right? This weird Santa snuggle is so charming, Mariah has yet to come into her full diva powers and is rocking mom jeans of all things. Can you even imagine?

Snooki

We're not even sure if we have the right to throw shade at Snooki here. Like, there are several awful tagged photos of us from the first Christmas rager of freshmen year that look very, very much like this, down to the unflattering Pepto Bismal shade lipstick.
