No one gave me a 2005 calendar for Christmas this year!
Every year, I usually get at least ONE calendar... most times, I end up with one for the office, and 2 for home.

This year, no one gave me a calendar!

Whassup w/ dat?

7. Expensive
I was looking through the ads the other day, and even a simple day-minder was nearly ten bucks. I mean come on, these things are produced by cents each, in some foreign land.

I just opened up my American greetings Creat-a-Card and made one. Of course, the ink probably cost me that much, but it was just the principle.

I suspect if you can wait a month, the prices will be quite low.

8. Same here. I had to buy my own ...
I absolutely have to have one for the office. I got a nice vintage poster one from www.calendars.com - but I still miss my daily Far Side calendars. :cry:

12. Probably because the selection sucked this year
A bookstore in town specializes in calendars during the last half of every year, and this past season they had about the worst selection I have ever seen. Stuff that I had been buying for years (Close to Home desk calendar, for example), and a horse calendar (my teen daughter is nuts about horses) were nowhere to be found. I had a really nice National Gallery engagement calendar in 2004 -- store didn't have it in stock for 2005.

And I really hate to admit it, but this kind of put a pall over my holiday. I like going to the store and browsing through all their calendars. Well, at least I *did.*
