The Holiday Card 2024: Shitter’s Full!

Welcome to this year’s low-key holiday card!

Entitled ‘Shitter’s Full!’ it’s a straight-forward homage to ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’, a holiday movie that I’ve only recently begun to enjoy. Andy has loved it for years, but like Buffalo chicken wings, it’s a joy I’ve come to later in life. (Turns out I’m a late-bloomer in just about every aspect.) 

I almost went with the mock turtleneck and dickie ensemble from the egg nog scene (a little nod with the moose glass closes out the post) but that felt too obscure, and I was already unsure how well this would read for my Christmas card list, but fuck it, it’s my card and I love it. And even Andy seemed amused by it, which is an accomplishment unto itself (and not just because he was the one who clicked this shot). 

My very first photo card was sent out in 1995. That means next year will mark the 30th anniversary of when I first started sending out photo cards for Christmas, and it’s going to be a doozy. I already have an idea of what it will be, and it’s going to be big… For now, enjoy this casual Christmas romp, the wardrobe of which I already had in various closets (the only things I had to get were the cigar and a can of beer).
