Here’s a holiday treat that will give you all the feels:
🎄 Christmas catalogs from 1940-2017! 🎄👇🏼
It will bring you back to writing your Christmas list to Santa while looking through the catalogs 📝🎅🏼 I would always write my list with my BFF Miss C. We lived one house apart in Honolulu 👯♀️🌴🎁 We’d sit next to each other on the floor, each with a copy of the same Christmas catalog, and we’d circle everything we wanted. My letters would always go something like this:
🎅🏼 Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year. I would like:
And then I’d proceed to list every item in the catalog that I wanted 😄 My mom would see to it that I got most of it too! The floor was always covered with presents Christmas morning! 🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁 It was magical ✨🎄✨
Search “80s Christmas” on my Tumblr to see specific pages that brought back all the feels for me. Maybe some of you can relate.

Christmas Catalogs of the 60s
Christmas Catalogs of the 60s
They came in the mail every November in the 1960’s. Particularly important was the Monkey Ward’s catalog because there was a Montgomery Ward Catalog Store in Belmond on Main Street. Mom and Dad could order, pay for, and pick up things there, particularly Christmas and birthday gifts. The four of us; my little brother, my two younger sisters, and I would argue about who would get to look at it…

From the 1966 Sears' Christmas Catalog.
I remember the TV commercials for Captain Action, and I was impressed that he could become different comic book heroes. Really wanted the Superman outfit because there were no Superman action figures at the time. And he would be the same size as my G.I. Joes!
My folks, on the other hand, thought having G.I. Joe was enough for me, so they were not about to start me collecting yet another toy line.
Years later I understand their reasoning, especially as tight as money was back then. But it still would've been sweet to have the superhero outfits (which were sold separately from Captain Action) to put on my Joes.
