Best friend gave me a Monet dayplanner for a belated Christmas gift. ---

Kitchen wall: Greater Lafayette Health Services freebie I received in the mail. Since I’ve been a resident of this city since 2001 and never received a calendar from these folks before, I’m guessing the reason I’m now on the list is either that I know one of the photographers who contributed, or the GLHS hospitals are seeking to “bribe” the voters before placing a funding issue on the ballot. This month’s scene is of one of the lupine residents of [Wolf Park.](http://www.wolfpark.org/) Living room: A little self-adhesive calendar which features a slot for a business card – in this case, my dad’s. He’s been sending similar items with his Christmas cards for about the last twenty years, since he became a part-time salesman of matchbooks and related advertising novelties. A running joke in our family is that some people my parents haven’t seen for years send them cards just to keep the calendars coming. ---

Last year I had a page-a-day desk calendar, but since I never bothered to change daily, this year I got a M. C. Escher wall calendar. ---

> [@Enix Dark](#): > > …this year I got a M. C. Escher wall calendar. My brother gave that to my family! Last year, he gave us a Georgia O’Keeffe calendar. I used to have multiple calendars, but I discovered that we would end up writing appointments and reminders in whichever one was nearest at the moment, and that led to many missed appointments. ---

Wall - a photographer friend made a calendar for me of photos she’s taken. Really really cool. Desk - I don’t have one. I can’t do those page-a-day calendars, because I tend to read them straight through when I’m bored. Purse - Palm Pilot ---

We got a surprising calendar from a Chinese takeout place we frequent occasionally. 😉 We’d expected some inoffensive “Scenes of Hong Kong” kinda thing, instead we got 12 months of this Chinese hottie posing in various slit-skirt outfits for each month. Works for me. ---

I got the **Dr. Crash** calendar from _Sailing World_ magazine. Each month has a photo of a mishap in a sailing race. Some are minor upsets in small dinghys, and some are major, expensive crashes in ocean-going raceboats. Each has a snarky commentary from Dr. Crash. This is the first recent year when nobody but my mechanic and my furnace guy gave me a calendar. That’s fine with me.
