Catalogs and calendars

When we have Thanksgiving at our house, 12 people attend.  Lynn takes care of the charity donations we make.

She gets enough calendars that there are still some left when everyone has taken what they want.  Some people take more than one calendar, for the kitchen, office and/or bedroom. Most of the calendars show all the pictures used inside on the back, where one can judge the beauty and awe and inspiration of the Grand Canyon at sunrise vs. cute baby birds yawning wide for food.  If you are looking for a simple, unadorned calendar, you can find some nice printable ones with a search for something like "2020 calendar".
