After further review, I have determined that these WERE in fact Halloween costumes. In 1979, we used these very costumes in a Christmas play at Eagles (but sans my goatee). But in looking at the photo album where these pictures were, Mom wrote lightly in pencil above the photos “Halloween 1980.” So although that was a very good hypothesis by Bev (you had me believing it!), we had actually recycled them for Trick or Treat the following year.

I’m inclined to agree. That makes more sense that I was a shepherd, a wise man, or possibly the ‘idiot who brought myrrh’ - rather than an Arab Sheik! Either way, that was the last goatee I had until 1999.

I bet those weren’t your Halloween costumes, but a Christmas play at either your church or Eagles.
