Although I can’t remember where the idea for this story came from, I was surprised to see that a Hallmark Christmas special was based on catalog clippings as Christmas. Makes you wonder. A Christmas Catalog All of their belongings…worth taking…had been packed into their beat-up family station wagon. It was ‘good-bye’ time for the Wheeler [...]
