TWELVE YEARS OF CHRISTMAS: YEAR EIGHT

1980
Again with the Star Wars! This time it was the cheapo Sears exclusive Cloud City set. And that's a Smokey and the Bandit style Trans Am by my foot. A few weeks before this photo was taken my folks were hosting a Christmas party attended by college students. I casually walked into the living room wearing those Spider-Man pajamas and the whole place erupted with boisterous laughter. It took me a while to realize that I was the source of the comedy and I didn't know whether to be proud or embarrassed. Decades later I was not even considered for Sam Raimi's Spider-Man film.
