Remember the bubble lights? Loved these but man, hot little fire hazards for sure!
In our case it was the Montgomery Ward Christmas catalog, but yeah, same result.

Oh, we had both! My sister and I would fight over them. Mom would give us our "Santa's Limit" on money to be spent, and we were each given different colored crayons to circle our wishes. If sis wanted the same item, fighting began in earnest.

One year, my parents put only part of our presents out the night before, so we went to bed thinking we were only getting one present apiece. They rest of the presents were labled "from Santa" with red ink. I always felt thrilled to think that Santa knew our names.
Debi, anyone ever remember the old Bennett Brothers catalog ? The Blue Book. It was like a higher-end Sears catalog.
I would pour through last year's catalog and circle stuff.
Great toy section.
Even the old catalogs are worth 90 bucks on eBay... sheesh.

In the late 80s I bought my brother a tie for Christmas at the flagship Neiman-Marcus in Dallas. For the next several years thereafter I got their Christmas catalog by mail, the one that sold things like yachts and gold bathroom fixtures.
