Christmas Past: The Sears Perm

The best thing about this Family Christmas Card (via 1982) is my sister Shauna’s hairdo.
That year my mom took my sister to Sears to get a perm. We all still laugh about it.

We can hear my mom now: “I’ll take some Craftsman tools, a lawn mower, and a perm please.”

PS. My sister Becky commented saying Christmas Past week is more like embarrass your siblings week.

Dangit! She’s on to me. ;)

    I think I still have the original of this Christmas card! At the time, Shauna seemed so much older to me than the rest of us. Love the smocking & ruffles on your dresses :)

    I remember that picture. Your family always has funny stories like that.
    And I think it is true about the embarrass your siblings because you look so darling, sweet, and innocent in that picture:)

    That picture is actually pretty cute, I must say. I have some Sears perm pictures that are pretty scary. I love Christmas past week.

    I also love that we are all dressed up and T.R. has on his velor sweatsuit. Funny.

    I never knew Shauna did such a mean Michael Jackson impersonation.

    Yes, Becky. You are right. We could always post Kami's ballet recital…huh?
    I love sears. I just wish they had groceries so you could do it ALL.

    To be honest, I was surprised you didn't get Avery a perm like Shaunas. WHY NOT?

    I never had a perm specifically from Sears but my mom permed my hair a lot! And with poofy big bangs… it was not a good look!

    Wasn't much better.

    I'm glad I could inspire you to post your old Christmas card pics.

    I had no idea Sear's did perms.

    I can't stop laughing about the perm at sears. I wonder if they still do them? That Christmas card is awesome!
