Where I am we are already getting catalogues and reminders in the letter box for Xmas shopping.
It prompts me to ask,
What is on your Xmas wish list?

Freedom to be with family and friends from far away, without fear of impending doom.
Seriously, the catalog companies are gonna be in big trouble with me and my family this year and forevermore, as far as I am concerned. Give gifts to charity and if you feel in a holiday mood write me a note or send a card.

Morning -
Zil - Why are they going to be in trouble with you...this year and forever more? I'm curious.
We're asking Santa for our whole (small) family to be together for the holidays this year.

Hi LindaK, because I am not allowed, by the PO, to return them as "Refused" therefore, my landfill is going to be stressed and we will not be ordering anything from them....it will take 2 to 3 years before there number begin to dwindle. If they have an 800 number listed I may call to cancel further mailings if that is possible, but I will not stay on the line for 10 minutes waiting.
The problem seems to be that if you buy from one catalog you wind up on everyones mailing list...save trees, don't mail me.

Zilvy, one method I have found effective in getting off junk mail lists is the postage paid reply envelope. I simply rip up the advertisements, stuff as much as will fit into the envelope, and mail it back to them. There is usually an order form, often postage pre-paid, in many of those catalogs.

Thanks Doc, sounds like a prescription for success. I will check it out! Now how do I get Readers Digest to stop mailing all those damned entry to win $5,0000? No prepaid envelopes and can't return or refuse 3rd class mail?

Either a 2002 Poniac Aztec, or a 2002 Buick Rendevous.
I'll settle for the VISA bill being paid off and no more debt.

Dear Santa,
I'd like a new MP3 player with all the bells and whistles possible. Preferrable in a big box so my daughter will have something to play with.

A new kitchen. But I would settle for a new potato peeler.

This Christmas is much different than all others for me ....
I just want my Dad to hold on thru Christmas and into January 2002 for the FDA approval of D255 for his cancer.
If I can't have that, then I just don't want him to suffer so much. I knew cancer was horrible, I just never imagined how awful it is. 
Please, anyone who smokes, stop smoking and save your family the heartache mine now endures.
Sorry for the downer.
BECKY (I wish I really was MrsSantaClaus 'cause then I could get the magic I need)
