Via: the-irascible-harry-krishner • 11 years ago • 2 commentsOne of my favorite holiday memories was sitting on the floor pouring over the Sears Holiday Wishbook. This was the catalog to end all catalogs. Every fall we would wait in giddy anticipation for this giant tome to arrive in the mail. Nearly two and a half inches thick, every page was crammed full of amazing goodness for the entire family. My brother and I would look at this catalog with great reverence.ear-marking all the amazing things we wanted. And oh, there were so many things to want! Colorful quirky clothing.rad sleeping bags.cool bicyclesand the toys. Lord have mercy, the TOYS. The Sears catalog made you want things you didnt even know you wanted. It was that good.
