Yeah. Stop your laughing. That was Lela and I on "Santa's" lap. Except Santa was our middle school principle. Eww. I know. (It had to be around 1980, or even possibly 1979 - 7th or 8th grade. Eeek!)
Anyelf, in making it a tradition, I scrounged up another Santa picture with Lela and I from years past.
1982
There are a few things to say here:
1. That was my FAVORITE sweater. I got it at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale at the end of summer and I could hardly wait for fall to come so I could start wearing it.
2. I just realized that Santa is kind of young looking. With dark eyebrows and dark hair peeking out of his sideburns. And I'm thinking he was probably loving having two teenage girls sitting on his lap. Gross.
3. That was NOT a mullet I was growing out there. It was a "Bi-Level". That's what we called it. That is what we will continue to call it. The 80's were not kind to fashion. And I was simply a victim of that fashion. A victim! Again, it was NOT a mullet. We will not call it a mullet. Mmmm-kay?
4. See Lela's pretty white teeth? Yeah, she totally got her braces off two years before I did. Still trying not to be jealous. (I had a mouth of metal for FIVE years. Cause being a teenager isn't humiliating enough.)
Allrighty, now that we've embarrassed ourselves, let me go on with our wish to you:
We, Lela & Ally, wish you a very
Merry Christmas!
We wish you peace, joy and love.
We wish you a happy and healthy 2011.
Oh, and it wouldn't be Christmas without leaving you with this 1981 flashback song:

You seriously took the words out of my mouth when you said Santa was your principal seconds before you typed it I thought to myself, 'EWWWW!'
I absolutely love the Christmas flashbacks! As I am sitting here watching the video my 9 year old is sitting next to me and got all excited because she knows this song...So I guess we aren't that old after all! ;-)
Merry Christmas!!
I think I see a gleam in Santa's eyes. LOL
You both look great. But we all cringe when we look back at ourselves during our school days. When I look at pictures from back then, I can't believe I wore THAT, or that I thought my hair was so cool. ACK.
Did you sit on Santa's lap at the mall this year?
Merry Christmas to all of you.
omg. The Waitresses! What a flashback for me. Can we watch Square Pegs together?
omg---you are totally right about that young Santa! EWWW!
you both look adorable, and we ALL had metal mouth, so don't feel bad. Love this flashback and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you both!
