I became curious. What do you all have on your calendars?
This year we've got a calendar with gorgeous Japanese Ink Paintings
although I'll probably break down and get another German Shepherd Dog
calendar just for the pictures :)

I've bought two so far. I usually keep one in the kitchen, one by the
computer desk, and I usually get given a couple for Christmas. I bought a
calendar of photos of black cats to take to work, but then I found a
page-a-day calendar of "Forgotten English."
I have a 2002 calendar of truly fantastic watercolor art by an artist named
Daniel Merriam, but I haven't yet been able to find a 2003 calendar of his
work.
My kitchen calendar this year was Charles Wysocki cat paintings, and I got
all excited when I found a 2003 Wysocki calendar...until I got it home and
realized it was the same exact paintings in the 2002 calendar, just in a
different order, so I gave it to a friend.

My favorite calendar of all time was the Psychotronic Calendar,
featuring ads from bad old sci-fi/horror films. I bought those every
year until they tragically stopped making them.
Last year, DH and I had Alphonse Mucha, but for 2003 I succumbed and
bought an Elvis calendar.

Last year I had a terrific HR Giger calendar that included a couple of
works from his "Stillbirth Machine" series (gotta love violent
biomechanical birthin'). I cut one out and put it on my wall. This year
I have a Fender Custom Shop calendar that features expensive
one-of-a-kind or limited edition guitars.

I had Giger calenders for several years running. I had some of the pictures
framed for my wall, too. Giger is one of my favorite artists.
I also liked the Mutter Museum calenders and bought them for several years,
though I didn't use them -- just saved them for the pictures!
Since DH isn't so much into the macabre, for the last 2 years I've had bird
calenders. My 2002 calender is the Sibley, which is very nice, but a little
dull. For 2003, I bought three calenders -- one with pictures of koi, one
with squirrel photos, and one with, well, birds, all in glorious color. I'm
going to use the koi calender on on the wall.
I wonder -- are the Giger and Mutter Museum calenders still being produced?

Ok, I'll admit that I have more calendars than a person really needs. At

that my grandama made for me from a picture of my niece standing in
front of the Superman statue in Metropolis, IL. That one has hooks on it
so I can keep using it year after year by hanging a new page on it for
each month. The third is a free calendar from my alma mater (Washington
U.). Each calendar shows a different month. My page-a-day calendar at
work this year is the Origami calendar, which is a really cool idea, but
I got bored with it pretty fast. My 2003 page-a-day for work is Get
Fuzzy. At home I have a wall calendar that has pictures of cats on it (a
gift from my mom), a page-a-day calendar with googly eyes and useless
factoids (also a gift), and a page-a-day Jeopardy! calendar. I'm sure
I'll get a Jeopardy! page-a-day for myself again, and I'll see if anyone
gets me anything else. If not, I'm thinking either Spongebob Squarepants
or the Powerpuff Girls for a wall calendar.

Work calendar is boring office calendar.
Home this year is sheep, of course. Last year was, um, line drawings
of the buildings of downtown Alexandria, also a different sheep
calendar. Several years ago I had a cool one of dinosaur paintings,
and another year a different cool one of staged people and their
animals (like, a guy and his champion hog or a lady dressed up with
her champion Friesan cow.)
I don't generally buy a calendar until January when they're over half
off, so for many years I've never seen the January picture.

Being a major NASA nerd, I have a giant NASA wall calendar with lots
of great photos of/from the space shuttle. That's at work.
For Christmas, my husband usually (only half-jokingly) gets me one of
those "quarterback studs of the NFL"-type calendars (Brett Favre,
mmmm...). I have that one up at home.

Doors and doorways from the Greek Islands (we went to Lefkada in the
summer). It's a lovely year long reminder of our holiday. I'll
probably frame a couple of them later on. I did the same with a
calendar from Rome a few years ago.

Until this year... for some reason we've got the first half of 2003 planned already :P~ And I

Currently, I have an Escher weekly calendar. If a "The Two Towers"
weekly calendar comes out (there is a monthly one, but I don't want it),
then I will get that, too. (They did do a weekly for "Fellowship" last
year, so even though it's late in the year, I'm hoping they do a TTT
weekly, too.)

Same here! :-)
This year I lucked out and found two cat calendars for half off. One
weekly calendar with cat cartoons I use to keep track of appointments
and such and one monthly Siamese cat one for the house.
At work I have a Weather Channel calendar that was lying around unused
for most of the year.
Speaking of calendars, I just started working on a Childfree Almanac.
In addition to providing information about all sorts of cultural
holidays (not just the commercially popular ones!), it will contain
information relevant, useful, and amusing to childfree folk as well as
some information/trivia-type stuff. I'd love to include the entries
from the Snip Registry as well as some recipies (with proper credit
given, of course!)--I'm sure if I googled hard enough* I could find 366
recipes. ;-) I don't know if it will be an annual thing or a one-shot
deal. . . but it definitely won't be ready until 2004.

Haven't got 2003 yet, but right now I've got Bears. At work I have a free

Past calendars have included: Olivia, Dali, Giger, Wegman, polar bears,

Frugal Me won't be buying ours until they're 50% off on January 2nd,
but I'm planning on getting the "Cats Are..." calendar. <fingers
crossed> We have last year's one up and it has gorgeous black and
white cat photographs with a different adjective each month. For
example, this month's is "creative" and has a shot with a kitten next
to a vase full of flowers. The kitty is on its hind legs and the front
legs are pawing at the flowers, giving an appearance of
flower-arranging. Some of the photos are repeated in the 2003
calendar. My favorite new one is "patient" with two cats sitting at a
table and a plate of fish in front of them.
I'm going to see what I can do about framing some of my favorite
photos from the 2002 calendar. I love black and white photos.

I took one of the pages from a dinosaur calendar, a lovely evocative
painting of a diplodocus being stalked at dawn at the edge of a
wetland by three allosaurs and had it mounted a local shop. Instead of
being framed, the picture is affixed to a masonite backing and covered
in some sort of waterproof material. It's VERY durable and a bit
different from regular framing. It works particularly well with
photographs and posters (I wouldn't used this method with original
art.)

Very nice. We normally get cyoot pigs or scenic calendars. The BBC
countryfile calendars are nice (if you don't object to the money going to

Color me boring and predictable. I get close to a dozen calendars from
various groups I am associated with (Insurance agents, Charitable Orgs,
etc.). Most of them I take in to work - even the animal ones, because
I prefer all-cat calendars.
I did get my small 'Kittens' calendar for next year already (for work),
but will wait until after Jan 1 for the bigger one here - I got the
Purina Celebrity Cat calendar the last two years (last year - I got the
dog one, but someone at work had gotten a cat one, so we traded); and
sometimes I get calendars for Xmas - but if I don't, I go find one on
sale.

I used to get tons of calendars from various wildlife groups but I haven't
gotten any yet this year. I don't get a lot of the catalogues and things I
used to get anymore. (I know, I shouldn't complain, but some of them I
miss. I just started getting PBS' Signals catalogue again for the first
time in forever, which was cool.)
My apartment complex also gives everyone a free calendar (and a pen) at the
end of the year.
I went out looking for calendars last night. I was tempted by 'The Literary
Cat' for work (because I work in a book-related business) and there were
some nice wildlife calendars, not to mention *two* William Wegman ones. But
I just can't justify spending $11-15 on a calendar when I'll be able to get
them for half that much in a few weeks. Of course, the selection won't be
as good...

Not to mention that on Jan 1 (often Dec 26), they all go either half
price or less, and by mid-January, they're often $2 or so, with still
a fair amount of selection left.
My current one is National Geographic Owls, not because I have a
"thing" for owls, but because it was my favorite among the marked-down
ones I found at the time.
And, did anyone know that, with the exception of "wandering" holidays
like Easter, Passover, and Hannukah, you can reuse a 1997 calendar in
2003? All of the dates fall on the same day of the week. :)
