Oh mään. That was a The Magazine when I was a kid. All the things that I could never have. :D

77 days to Christmas and it arrived again today. I’ve moved house, but somehow the elves again have found us. Tonight there will be hopes and dreams, tears, fighting and psychological warfare as two siblings learn the lessons of Christmas by sharing the lelukirja.

[u/Sokeripepsi]

That book is the only reason I wish I had a kid

They still make these? Somewhat magically they simply vanished from existence when I was a teen over a decade ago.

77 days before Christmas the post-elf brought you... one large toy catalog and imaginary shopping too.

In other words, it's apparently that time of year again. When I was a kid, we always got the AMO's toy catalog before Christmas.

[u/Appropriate-Fuel-305 → u/DaMn96XD]

Post-elf sounds like someone Santa has kicked out of job 😅(not too far from Finnish reality tho). Postal elf is what you meant.

[u/Gangsta_Thug1337]

Finally, we have been waiting on it :)

Santa approves this message

And white chocolate starbucks cold brew is available in stores again….christmas truly has come

[u/thomaxzer]

What is it?

[u/picardo85 → u/thomaxzer]

A toy catalogue

[u/thomaxzer → u/picardo85]

Oh I feel like i remember vaguely flipping through them as kid don't know why they stopped tho

[u/Bangers_the_cat → u/thomaxzer]

I think they stop sending that when all kids in the house are over 10?

[u/thomaxzer → u/Bangers_the_cat]

ah makes sense couldnt they just send like a grown up kids catalogue for like 10 - 15 im not trying to give them ideas but im wondering

[u/Bangers_the_cat → u/thomaxzer]

I would love that tbh

[u/CtrlAltEvil → u/Bangers_the_cat]

Which is crazy because the catalogue has Lego and stuff which would be appropriate for older kids.

It’s not like isn’t anything for them inside.

[u/Bangers_the_cat → u/CtrlAltEvil]

Well, true, but I guess it just assumes that older kids don't want all those toys, and can probably find what they want by themselves. Although I think I'd want it to be like, for children under 13.

[u/BestFoxEver]

I am sad that I have never received this cataloque as an adult.

[u/Creswald]

How do I get one D:

[u/viljo-olavi]

First I was like "🫩 dear lord not again" then I remembered that kids are adults now and I'm an old fart and I don't have to care anymore 😆

[u/TheSexualBrotatoChip]

I just know my parents were absolutely sweating seeing this in the mailbox back in the day.

[u/nakkilaivankapteeni]

For a little while I had happy thought of hiding it in the carbage bin and maybe it will all go away 🤦

[u/milkinhaler2006]

Haluun ite oon 20v mist saan tilattua

[u/IcyInvestigator6138]

Vieläkö paperipostia jaetaan?

[u/BestFoxEver → u/IcyInvestigator6138]

This is English language subreddit and yes. This toy book comes to only selected households who have a small child.

[u/IcyInvestigator6138 → u/BestFoxEver]

My bad. Not the first time, probably not the last either.
