The catalog season!

It has started and will run until after the New Year is rung in.

I am currently getting approximately four catalogs a day. This number will increase the closer we get to Christmas.

I usually enjoy looking through catalogs, but when I am swamped with them, they become less fun. I find I must go through them daily or looking at them becomes overwhelming. Despite pitching most of them each day, there are always things I spot that I want to mull about, and so I set it aside 'for later'.

When 'later' comes, I find myself with a stack of catalogs searching for what it was that caught my eye. It is really surprising what can catch my eye at first glance. Then I usually find there is only one item I like in each one. If only one year I could find a number of items all in one place and make it worthwhile to send off for them.

I don't know where these company's get my name. I don't really make many purchased from them.

Is anyone else submerged in catalogs? How are you handling it?

I love catalogs and used to collect them. I still have a very few old ones. A 1925 Sears, 1940 Wards and a 1944 Wards.I get lots of new ones that I keep awhile and throw away or give away to older ladieswho live in my building and love to thumb through them.

Recycling is a good option.

I seen some of the old, old catalogs and the prices just blow me away.

Christmas catalogs dont meet my criteria for shopping needs.

Not to imply singing mounted fish and personalized chocolate petit fores dont fill a gaping void for the public at large.

They get your name from when you use your credit/debit card.
