Ah, the annual Christmas catalog onslaught! Even now I get catalogs from companies I’ve never heard of and won’t use—such a waste. (But look how happy Rover is, just to be going out!)
Okay Red, stuff it all back in the mail box, go back to the house and tell your mom that the mail is here. After all she didn’t ask you to bring in the mail, she just asked if it was here yet.
I could tell it was the Christmas shopping season when suddenly the mailbox was full of sales fliers and catalogues. Sadly, hardly any Christmas Cards. I guess we don’t need them now that we all chat online.
Ah! Catalog season. I sort of miss it. Sears is gone, Wards is another store that bought the name. Mom had her Avon catalogs. Dad had JC Whitney. We kids had the Sears Wish Book. (sigh) Maybe I should subscribe to Sharper Image. They have all the good toys in my age range (third childhood).

Might need a wagon to get for all those Christmas catalogues inside.

I loved the ginormous Sears and Monkey Wards catalogs. So many toys and the UPS man would bring them in a brown truck!

I love looking at those catalogues. All the silly gifts out there. But the cheese and gift basket catalogues make me hungry.

Does anyone still mail Christmas Cards?

Wow! The mailbox is a distance from the door, for sure! I get lots of holiday catalogs, too!

At my house those catalogs just go directly from the mailbox to the recycle bin without even entering the house in between.

Our mailperson won’t deliver to next door because he never removes his mail from the mailbox.

Did a relative of Big Nate stuff the mailbox?

I remember them being much bigger/thicker volumes, which would have had a tragic outcome.

Yep… the problem with Christmas these days is all the ’… isms". The worst being commercialism.
