Who remembers Christmas Wish Books?

The big ones were Sears, Toys R Us, and JC Penney. These things were a childhood staple in the 90s but I'm pretty sure the tradition goes back much further. I have been seeing these things pop up a lot lately on Nostalgia pages and have enjoyed reading people's personal stories so wanted to see if anybody on here has any good stories or memories from those days?

 

I can vividly remember after Thanksgiving dinners my Grandma popping the question "So what do you kids want for Christmas this year" and before you knew it those wish book would be out on the kitchen table and we would be going over all the cool toys and just like that Christmas season was officially on.  Much simpler times for sure, it makes me sad this generation of kids won't get to experience the joy it was to search through these catalogs while putting together your Christmas list.

You must have been rich. We got to choose from the S&H green stamp book after filling them.
