\"ShoppingAnyone who\u2019s ever ordered anything from a catalogue knows that once you have, you\u2019ve condemned yourself to a lifetime of a mailbox filled that catalogue\u2019s 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\u2019s a racket, and you\u2019re the sucker.<\/p>\n

All that said, I love looking through Christmas catalogues. That\u2019s when \"Packagesretailers 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\u2019s not real, and B) I<\/em> don\u2019t have to stand in it) while they show off the latest winter footwear. Gifts, gifts, gifts! They\u2019re so much fun to look at!!<\/p>\n
