Obviously, the card is a pastiche of
the jacket art of The Beatles’ 1967 record
album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club
Band. Our apologies to anyone associated
with that work, especially the Fab Four.
The centerspread depicts (besides Ringo,
natch) the current visages of (from left)
Daniel Jacob (9), Benjamin Russell (15),
and Joshua Thomas (12). The back cover
is a nod to John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s
1970 advertisment, an adjunct of their
plea to “Give Peace a Chance,” and which
appeared in newspapers the world over
during the days of the Vietnam War.
Chocolate Chip, our recently-departed —
and dearly lamented — pet guinea pig
appears here at the request of Danny.
Hope you enjoyed this grossly overproduced holiday greeting! ’Til next year!
