Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik With both kids going away in separate directions (Amherst, MA and Los Angeles) for college this year we needed to choose an album where we could take our photos separately, and this one worked out. On the back: Realize Ebenezer was a miser Three traveling kings were the …
The Go-Go’s: Beauty and the Beat Towels and shaving cream made for an easier job for Jill in the costume department this year. (On the back: “Our gifts are sealed.”)
Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack Apparently disco is back, but since it’s been about 45 years we added some album wear & tear to this year’s cover. The card’s reverse reads “Stayin’ alive this holiday season!”
With Amelia at college this year it was a little trickier getting everyone together for a photo, so we split things up into twos to make it a little easier. (Or not, since really it was double the work…) The White Stripes: Elephant Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
For this year we leaned into the social distancing theme and all went solo: MC Hammer: U Can’t Touch This Britney Spears: …Baby One More Time Taylor Swift: 1989 The Clash: London Calling Beck: Odelay
Since there’s only 3 members we had to figure out a way to get a fourth person in the photo, and Jill as the guitar case ended up being my favorite part.
INXS: Kick For Kick we used the full fold-out album cover to get everybody (and the kids twice). Bad pun on the reverse side: “Need yule tonight.”
Blondie: Parallel Lines “Enjoy your holidays, one way or another.”
The B-52s: Cosmic Thing “Make the whole shack shimmy this holiday season!” The reverse had photos from our trip to Italy captioned “Rome if you want to.”
