You'd splay out on the giant braided rug in the living room and bask in the ecstasy of Christmas joy, the toy section, and dog-ear page after page of bright shiny toys.

Wishbook Web has full Christmas Wish catalogs, from the 1930s through the late 1980s scanned for your Christmas nostalgia.
Enjoy!
