I remember waiting for weeks for the CHRISTMAS WISH BOOK and when it FINALLY came, spending WEEKS looking through it over and over and over again. And after Christmas we would cut out the pictures of dolls, clothes, furniture and the rest of that stuff and have a shoebox of all of them to play with.
