There was a Sears department store in every mall throughout New York state when we were growing up. Around Christmas time, our parents would always take out the Sears Holiday Wish Book catalog and tell us to circle what we wanted Santa to bring us.

Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. It continues in my world. Well, it's not actually my stuff, rather a friends families stuff.

I've been helping a friend go through his parents basement a bit to weed stuff out.

Remember, malls were a new thing!
