You know every family has their fair share of awkward holiday photos through the years.  The crazy haircuts, the holiday sweaters, and the strange props make these Holiday photos memorable for years and years!  Sometimes, if you were lucky enough, mom would share those photos via Holiday card with friends, relatives, and fortunately for us…co-workers!  At Southwest Airlines we have a time honored tradition of celebrating the Holidays to the extreme! 

Our Employees LUV to get in the spirit and share holiday cheer!  In the halls of the Southwest Airlines Headquarters, in Dallas, TX, lurk some of the best treasured memories of past holidays.  In the images below, we’ll share with you the best of the best Southwest Airlines Holiday Cards and photos that have been shared through the years.  These cards and photos have been shared with the Company by real Employees and Customers. 

Our Social Media Team provided captions to help bring the images to life, but feel free to share with us your best photo captions!  Or, upload your own funny holiday photos and share with us on Instagram or Twitter using the Hashtag #SWAwesome
