Anyone who’s ever ordered anything from a catalogue knows that once you have, you’ve condemned yourself to a lifetime of a mailbox filled that catalogue’s brethren, forevermore. It only takes one small, single purchase from even the most obscure catalogue and your name goes on every mailing list for all catalogues, big and small. It’s a racket, and you’re the sucker.
All that said, I love looking through Christmas catalogues. That’s when 
retailers pull out all the stops. Tee shirts have cute sayings on them, each page is alight with candles, fairy lights, flashing outdoor lights, flashing indoor lights, and so on. I love all those lights! I love looking at the beautiful sweaters and coats. I love seeing models standing in snow (because A) it’s not real, and B) I don’t have to stand in it) while they show off the latest winter footwear. Gifts, gifts, gifts! They’re so much fun to look at!!
Now, do I buy? Um… No. Not usually. It’s window shopping from my couch, in my bunny slippers. And, I love it.

You are more enthusiastic than me, Dee. I find the catalogues a real nuisance.. especially the pictures of snowmen when its mid summer here.
I realize it’s a bit weird to get catalogues full of winter coats and boots while you’re in swim gear down there!
