For decades, I received so many free calendars; I could have
hung one in every room. I was giving them away! Almost all were filled with
gorgeous photographic scenes or artwork.
Around the pandemic years I stopped receiving any. Just
before that, they were replaced by single cardboard ones of various sizes that
were plain and featured all the months at a glance. But even these became far
and few between until free calendars disappeared altogether from my mailbox.
My favorites are the
ones that accentuate the main holiday, or theme of the month. Such as a bunny or eggs for Easter, clover
for St. Pat’s Day, Fireworks for July, or a winter scene for Christmas, or a
beach scene for June. Unfortunately, these seem to be going out of fashion.
Not to mention that now I almost have to go begging for one
if the Dollar Stores sell out! Or pay a ridiculous price somewhere else.
A Facebook acquaintance told me that last year she received
20! I’d be happy to receive just one!
Even the calendars for which I am forced to overpay are never reinforced at the hole as they used to be. To keep one hung permanently requires
a whole lot of scotch tape. And this looks tacky!
The older I get; the quality of life seems to be going in constant
decline. This is just one example!
