Just ordered our 2022 wall calendars...

Susan Louise — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 18:09:00 GMT

...our usual 2 through Amazon.

DH has his favorite he likes to have at his job:

Astronomy Magazine's 'Deep Space Mysteries'

The one I get for our kitchen every year:

Charles Wysocki

There are 2 that are usually offered by this artist every year. One is the Americana (13.5" x 12") and the other wall calender is 12" x 12". This year I didn't choose the Americana because I liked the monthy images on the other one better this year.

For those that get wall calendars every year, do you choose specific ones or change from year to year?

@Susan Louise - I order mine from Animal Adventure Park in Binghamton, NY. It's pictures of their animals and sales support the park, so that's where I get my calendar from.

I just received ours from calendars dot com. They have a New Mexico wall calendar that is breathtaking.

@On It Sounds lovely...

I used to order our calendars through calendars dot com, but this year they didn't have DH's Astronomy calendar...don't know why. And years ago I also would order through Barnes & Noble too.

This year the availability and best price of both of our calendars wound up to be at Amazon.

I no longer order calendars. I use the online calendar and appointment book.

I just got ours from Amazon. I hang the Lang , Warren Kimble in the kitchen. The pictures are a folk art design. I love Dilbert and always get one of the desk calendar, it always makes me laugh.

@gidgetgh How nice to support those animals/park!

We get the WWF yearly wall calendar because of all our donations throughout the year. When we make our last drop off at Goodwill each year, we'll give it to the folks who are there. It's just nice to know it will get used.

I never have to buy wall calendars.

Just about every charity I donate to sends me a calendar. I have several sittng on the table at the moment.

I usually bring the "spares" down to the laundry room - leave them on the folding table for folks to help themselves.

I always order a wall calendar through Warrior Canine Connection to support providing trained service dogs to challenged veterans. And what's not to love about beautiful golden retrievers and labradors?

@QVCkitty1 Lang calendars always remind me of my mother's kitchen. She had one of those wooden mounts for her calendar. All she had to do was change to the new year. I miss that.

Every year I buy the same large & small cat calendar set that's $1.00 at Dollar Tree...the smaller size calendar is my favorite, it tucks inside the Home Finance & Bill Organizer that's $2.00 at Dollar General. A total of $3.00 to keep me organized...money well spent.

Two things about wall calendars.

First is my daughter always makes me a wall calendar with pictures she'd taken through the year.

The pictures are always amazing. They are pictures of Colorado that look like they'd been professionally taken.

The hardest thing I did was to convince her I wanted pictures of her, her dog and those she'd taken while visiting here (Virginia) where my other daughter lives with her family. Daughter number 3 (as I sometimes tease all three) the youngest often spends 2 or 3 months at a time with me.

I remedied that by tearing off the pictures of just Colorado and keeping the ones of the family.

The second "story" is my wonderful son-in-law always puts up his calendar his wife makes.

She always includes the important dates (ie birthdates, etc) on the calendar.

He shared a cubicle with a woman. When he isn't there, she sits there. It's usually only for 2 days, sometimes only one day.

When she (the person using the cubicle) saw the calendar with his family and dates put in, she was upset that HIS wife had not included HER birthdate.

He barely knew her and for sure his wife didn't know her.

But my son-in-law works indirectly for the government and didn't want to cause trouble, so he let her write her birthday on HIS calendar.

I think that's crazy, but evidently he felt he didn't want to cause problems, so he gave in.

I'm glad I'm not in the work force anymore. I stopped working 47 years ago.

We used to buy calendars when we went to some exotic or scenic place. Since that hasn't happened in the past 18 months, we use the calendars from the various charities that send them to me.

We always buy a 12x12 calendar from Costco as soon as they become available and use it for Dr appointments and Hotel stays/ reservation #s. We're digital in all other aspects but "old school" for this works for us.

I usually use two - one for home and one for work. Both are free

One I get from an international travel company and the other I get from my church.

I no longer buy wall calendars. I had started for the last several years using the one from my church. Then I started using ones from the charities that I donate to. I get several calendars, date books, address stickers, notepads, greeting cards, etc. I have enough address stickers to last a lifetime!😅 Last year, I switched to using the calendar from Boystown. I love it because it not only has spaces big enough to write in but also has a lined space on the left side to write notes in. I'm able to write birthdays, doctor appointments and anything important there and it saves me from having to look all through the days of the month to find it! 😊

I print free calendars from the internet. They don't have pictures, but work just as well.

No wall calendar for me. I did recently buy a new 2022 planner from WM.

@On It

I still have one of those in my kitchen and always order a new Lang calendar for it. Already have the one for 2022.
