I remember as a kid that we got a sears catalog each year before Christmas. As kids we would look at the toys and other items. I remember before my father died ordering tadpole nets and then going to the sears to pick them up. It was a simple time. My third grade granddaughter has learned how to look at things on the internet. My mother after graduating from high school in Birmingham got accepted in the American Academy of Art which now has DePauls law school where she got an associate degree in commercial art and was employed by sears specializing in hands for ring, glove and other personal items which were for sale. Her drawings were in all the sears catalogs for years before she became a full time mom.
My wife's house was a sears kit home, and was a really neat house. People would actually order their home from sears. I have not seen a print phone book, or catalog for almost ten years. The internet has changed the way kids approach Christmas with their wish list.
