• A Christmas Tradition, from 1985 & 1986

  Dec 23, 2021

  

  

  Continuing the tradition I started thirteen years ago, here are my Dad’s thirteenth and fourteenth “obscure” Christmas cards, from 1985 (left) & 1986 (right).

  You get two this year, because I somehow forgot to post one last year. Again. I blame the pandemic.

  (The 1985 image is slightly corrupted at the bottom, but nothing important is missing; the crates at the bottom are labeled “Food for Europe”. Also, that’s an actual wide rubber band around the 1986 card.)

  Previously: 1983/1984 1982 1981 1980 1979 1978 1977 1976 1975 1974 1973

  Continuing the tradition I started eleven years ago, here are my Dad’s eleventh and twelfth “obscure” Christmas cards, from 1983 (left) & 1984 (right).

  You get two this year, because I somehow forgot to post one last year.

  (The images are slightly corrupted at the bottom, but nothing important is missing.)

  Continuing the tradition I started nine years ago, here’s my Dad’s tenth “obscure” Christmas card, from 1982.

  The image is corrupted at the bottom, but the damaged portion contains a hint: his name, “John F. Stearns”, has the first S in Stearns replaced by a treble clef.

  Continuing the tradition started eight years ago, here’s my Dad’s ninth “obscure” Christmas card, from 1981.

  No, I didn’t recognize all three of the ladies’ names at the time, but I still got the message!
