Love the commentary on how everything is too perfect. "Too too." And you are right about this catalogue madness really being year round. Occasions are ubiquitous as are the calls for our cash.

Tackiness has its place! Even if just to show us some contrast, in catalogs and in real life. And the other big thing that's missing from the perfect holiday scenarios is Spontaneity.
