I am sitting here at the kitchen table next to Ethan as he marks his name on every item in the Lillian Vernon for Kids Catalog. They personalize many of their items and he is diligently searching for an example of luggage with his name embroidered on it. He found a rolling suitcase with Abby on it and was very excited about that.
I remember making a list from the Sear's Christmas Book and giving it to Grandaddy. It must have been a mile long. Suzy and Beth always loved all the catalogs that came in the mail. But as I recall they were a little more discriminating than Ethan is being tonight. He has even marked a pink electric mixer!
I will check at Penny's when I go out tomorrow and see if their Christmas Catalog is out yet and if it is I'll bring it home and we will sit down together and do some serious marking.
If I had just been thinking of traditions, I don't believe I would have listed marking the catalog as one of ours, but it really is and it's another one that I wouldn't trade for the world.

That's funny! Curtis and Carolanne used to go crazy over the Best Catalogs. I told them to just mark what they didn't want!! It was easier that way! :) Oh Mary, you are bring back memories for me too!
