I remember growing up my grandparents got the sears catalog, and every year I would look at the Sears Wishbook and list the things I wanted most…. I don’t know that I ever got any of them but I just enjoyed looking at everything 🙂
My kids love looking through all the new toys and making out their “wish” lists.
When my kids were growing up Toys r Us and Walmart put the hot toys out for the kids to play with. I think it just made them more excited about Christmas and wanting everything. Lots of fun toys to look forward to.
Once upon a time little kids wrote letters to Santa without being influenced by TV ads and internet lists.
