fingerhut

when my brother and i were kids, each year during the coming month till christmas, we would page through the toy section of the ginormous catalog that was, fingerhut. anyone else do this when they were kids?

that catalog was to us,  like the golden ticket was to charlie. we couldn't wait to get our hands on that catalog and mark off, circle or fold the pages that had what we wanted from santa on them. oh the joys...

it's been a while since i've thought about, paged through or even seen a fingerhut catalog. but then one day here at work; bang! i walked in to our kitchenette and on the table was thing bright orange thing. by golly, it said fingerhut on the front of it. 'no way,' i thought to myself. and though it wasn't nearly as thick and fat as what i last remembered, the big black print that read, fingerhut, was enough to bring back the little kid joy that i used to feel around this time of year back then.

ah, the memories...
