In the Mail

The mail today was very interesting. The first was a booklet catalog brochure thing. It's a Christmas catalog! Nothing like getting them out early, six months to Christmas, better hurry, time is running out. It's from Coffee Products with a Christmas bulb on the cover. They sent it to the wrong person - I don't drink coffee. The other came from our good friend in Germany, my long awaited postcard from Thelma Alberts, pictured above. Of course it's beautiful and full of the sites where she lives. Have you started getting Christmas catalogs yet? Summer hasn't officially begun and I've gotten the first one of the year. Go figure. If you would like to exchange postcards send me a pm. I will be happy to send you one in the mail. Thanks for reading.

Yes it is. I guess they wanted to get the jump on the season.

I think it is a bit early...but I suppose it helps people to plan financially, spread the cost....

@just4him that's a good idea... do the big banks do it...or smaller companies ?

@sueznewz2 All the banks have Christmas club accounts their members can take part in. Then I think it's October the bank sends them a check for the amount in their account so they can get presents for Christmas.

If they want to spread the cost, there are Christmas funds banks have set up for just that purpose and they delete that account at a specific time every year so the person can do their Christmas shopping.

@cacay1 Would you like a postcard? I wonder if it would arrive before you left for New Zealand.

I haven't been getting many catalogs at all anymore since I've requested that they all stop. And they have. I don't have the money to spend and I'm tired of tossing everything out. So I just put a stop to them. Life is a lot easier for me that way.

I'm sure it is. It did give me something to write about though, A Christmas catalog and summer isn't official until next week. Go figure.

@CRK109 I found it funny to get a Christmas catalog this early in the mail.

@just4him I know. They are so hoping to begin making Christmas sales early. And many people will take advantage of that, too.
