A little late, but I got my wall calendars for 2020 today.
I always get a Toronto Blue Jays calendar, because I’ve been a fan of the Jays since their inception.
I also like cats, and typically get a calendar featuring cats. I found one featuring black kittens, and I got it. My Denver was an all-black cat, and I raised him from a kitten. The calendar’s photos remind me of him when he just a tiny kitten. Good memories.
What subjects are featured on your 2020 calendars?
Niece gave me a Van Gogh calender for Christmas. It’s nice but BIG.
Ansel Adams calendar this year.
It’s about twelve months.
I don’t have a wall calendar this year, but last year’s were of pictures of my home town, sent to me by my Mum who still lives there.
Calendar? I’m retired. I don’t need no stinking calendar!
My wife handles everything with her appointment book.
Her pretty little desk calendar shows Japanese wooblocks.
My calendar is the daily Alarm app waking me for pills.
Just ordinary ones except for some reason we got one from Poland. And it has pictures of…Poland. Polish landscape covered in snow, for January. Last year’s was from Oklahoma, with scenes of…Oklahoma. Very odd.
I always get a free one from my local hardware store. The primary characteristic is that it has large numbers I can easily see across the room.
Each year, I make a calendar of my own photography, and send it to friends. This year mine has photos of my trip to Vienna in 2004, including my time-lapse photo of the Transit of Venus, of which my avatar is a part. Vienna is a gorgeous city; I even named my cat after it.
I have four calendars up in the house. I save old calendars and reuse them when the days of the week coincide.
My wall calendar is all about fly fishing. Beautiful scenery of clear streams and sunny days. This years calendar is counting down to my retirement in September.
I’m a founding donor to the US Army museum that is opening up this year. As a contributor this is the second year they sent me their calendar. It’s all original artwork by soldiers. That’s the only calendar I have in the house.
BBC Countryfile calendar: based on a viewers’ photography competition to raise funds for their Children in Need charity telethon. Beautiful/funny photos of British countryside and wildlife - get yours now (available until 31 January)!:
Dad Bods and Rescue Dogs 
The proceeds went directly to a dog shelter in Iowa, I believe.
I also do that. I designed two calendars this year, one of some of my favorite shots of the past twelve months, and the other of abstract designs and patterns. I’m using one of the latter for myself.
Last time I had a non-work calendar, it was photos my daughter took and had printed up. I never did hang it up because there’s really no place in the house it wouldn’t look out of place.
I rely on Outlook to keep track of stuff.
Per tradition: An Impressionist (Boston FA) and a Maine coon cats wall calendars. This year the cats are actually kittens. (Kitchen wall and bedroom wall, resp.)
Trying to approximate tradition: We used to get Get Fuzzy and Far Side page-a-day* calendars. Generalized to cat/goofy ones. (Kitchen counter.)
The ICanHasCheezburger ones were great. Last year I managed to get a 2013 one that matched the 2019 calendar. (And for a surprisingly low price. I just checked and saw that the price range for old ones is $250-$500+ :eek:.) So this year it’s stupid Cat Shaming.
We did Simpsons page-a-day for a bit but they got lame. Fewer quotes and more trivia questions. Many about the comic books. What? So trying different stuff out. Non-sequiter, Argyle Sweater: nope. Trying Close to Home this year.
I ordered a calendar from Shutterstock (it was a freebie) where I put pics of cats and kids on it. It’s lovely. So each year since then I print up a bunch of current months and attach with paper clips over the old months. (Fam room)
I got a freebie one-page calendar from the National Arbor Soc. (Room with the printer.) Used to get freebie Chinese restaurant or 2nd hand bookstore ones for this but those haven’t been available in years.
I used to buy a couple of calendars for the office and shipping area at work, but now that I’m retired they’re on their own.
For years and years (and YEARS) we have had the calendars by Astronomy magazine that my husband purchases through his Astronomy club. The pictures are breathtaking!
Twenty years or so ago my sister would get me a cartoon-a-day desk calendar featuring Gary Larsen Far Side. It was a tradition we had for several years. I had certain co-workers who shared my whack sense of humor and we enjoyed the injection of silly into the workday.
Then Gary Larsen retired, that rat!

(Forgot to include this thanks to dealing with 50x errors.)
I forgot my 3 year origami eveyday calender in my art room. Each day are instructions to a new model. You use yesterdays page to fold it. I’m way behind on it.
I received a Mathematics calendar as a Christmas gift. Most days contain a math equation, trivia, or puzzle that equals the date. Unfortunately, these take up the rectangle associated with each day, and I want to write notations about whatever’s coming up for that date, so I bought a Star Trek calendar to make notes in.
Besides that, I have my tear-off-the-page day calendar on my desk. This year, as for the past several years, it’s a Sudoku calendar. And I’ve already done most of January.
