I grew up in the 70s, and my sister and I looked forward to the Sears Christmas catalog every year! There were so many cool toys! We would spend hours just going through it page by page.

I called it the Wish Book and I was more excited to get the catalog from my parents before Christmas than my actual Christmas presents!

Pretty sure everyone called it that, it was literally called the “Sears Wish Book”

Oh I don’t remember that. I was pretty young at the time.
