Christmas

Tale Of The Tape

“Christmas 1985. My family got our first VCR and you would have thought we were welcoming our newest sibling home from the hospital after being born. That’s me in the middle, with the VCR on my lap.”

Red Christmas

“That’s me in the lap of a suburban DC mall Santa circa Christmas, 1976 when I was 4. I would love to know why Santa’s face matches his suit.”

Sweaty Santa

“Christmas Eve, 1995; Michoacán, México and it was 40 °C (104 °F). My mom really wanted to get a cute photo of me sitting on Santa’s lap, but I wasn’t having it. So we both posed with this poor sweaty Santa and she actually made the thing into a calendar.”
