When I Was A Kid…
November 27th, 2007 by MarnieMatt and I were talking about the excitment we would feel before Christmas. It turns out one of the joys for both of us was when our mom’s came home with the Sears Wish Book catalog.
For kids today, they may not have the pleasure of curling up on the couch with a marker and circling all the wonderful toys and comfy slippers that they want from Santa, but they have something similiar. The on-line wish list, is available at most retail websites. My sister sent me an idea gift list for my young neice and nephew and it was a list from the Toys R Us website. The kids went on line and checked the items that they wanted. It took me back to the Sears catalog. Call me old fashioned but I think the old way was better. By better I mean, warmer, more of an event, something that became a tradition. It turns out Sears has brought the Wish Book back for 2007.
Maybe on-line shopping will be a tradition for those in this generation. I hope so, I hope they have the warm memories associated with being a kid at Christmas.
