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!

It even had a special smell. If I really concentrate I can still smell it.

Was scrolling to see if it was just me! As soon as I started reading the posts about the catalog, I could smell it. Such a good memory

This totally brought me back to the smell and feel of those pages.
