Happy 2020!!!
One of the things I like about the first day of a new year (and I like a lot of things) is a fresh calendar. I usually have four or five calendars in my house, and they are all different. Right now I only have three, but I’ll be buying a couple more once they go on sale (I really want a Star Wars one.)
Calendars are a crazy industry. They can’t be that expensive to make because half the pages on every calendar are the same. It’s not like the calendar companies have to write a book, but calendars cost the same as an 80,000-word novel. Plus, there is a topic for everyone. Dogs, cats, pigs, goats in trees, whatever you want to see on your wall, there’s a calendar for you.
We bought a lot of calendars in Alaska, some for gifts and some for ourselves. Buying a 2020 calendar in August felt weird, but while putting them up yesterday, I was delighted we got them because they’re gorgeous and remind me of our great trip.
We all have calendars on our phones, tablets, and computers. We can connect our digital schedules to others, so no plan gets lost. You’d think wall calendars would be a thing of the past, but there are pop-up stores that just sell calendars. We’ve come into a time when we can have our wall calendar and a digital one too.
Do you have a wall calendar for 2020? Did you pick it, or was it a gift? What topic is it? Do you think wall calendars will ever fall out of favor? I certainly hope not. How can I count down the days to 2021 without one?
