A local business gave me a beautiful Norman Rockwell calendar that I am enjoying. I don't need more than one.

Yes, I do. I like the at a glance idea, rather than having to load the computer then the calendar on the computer, and I still can hand write faster than I type.

I got this one in January, when prices were slashed in half at B&N

We longer get a free one from the bank. We do get a free one from the gas company & they are usually nice-this year it has baby animals on it. That one hangs in the kitchen. I then bought one from the Dollar Tree that has beach scenes on it. That is the one I write all birthdays & appointments on & it hangs in our bathroom.

Quite a few years ago my daughter made me a calendar from pictures off my computer. She used pictures, from the previous year. Like, in January were January pictures, etc.

I enjoyed that calendar so much, that I made myself one for almost every year since. Last year a friend of mine, also a cyclist gave me one with bicycle pictures on it, and two years ago my girlfriend gave me one of pictures my "bonus" grand daughter made, and this year, I got one of my own pictures again.

I love seeing my favorite memories from the previous year again.

I only have one wall calendar hanging... and my calendar in my organizer, that I take along for appointments etc. That's really all the calendars I need.

Here is this month picture:

I don't use a printed calender anymore. I just use the one on my phone. My husband has a free one in his office I can look at if I need to.

I used to get free all calendars but now only use a small monthly book type which I can carry with me to appts etc. If I use more than one I always forget to transfer from one to the others. I pass on the wall calendars.

The Milk Marketing Board has distributed a calendar for decades that comes in the daily newspaper. I use that one, and I generally get another one from a pet store.

I buy calendars for the livingroom at the desk area, the computer room, and the barn mostly at Dollar General for as little as $1. I also make a small one with my own photos for the kitchen bulletin board by the phone. There are still businesses around here that give them away and sometimes I pick those up.

I circle dates and make notes on them because it helps me remember.

We get pocket calendars from the bank and I get one from Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Alzheimer Assoc. and Surry Power Plant. I don't need any more!

I do get a few in the mail around the holidays. A real estate firm, couple of the timber companies. I buy an annual refill for my long owned tabbed month-at-a-glance date book though. Appointments generally go onto my computers desk top, but still keep birthday reminders (many), dates we may have received vaccinations or others notes of importance in the month-at-a-glance.

I get mine from the $1 store. Usually flowers but last year it was sea animals, the year before it was butterflies and before that hummingbirds. Can't beat the price and choices.

No, I haven't had a physical calendar for a long time. I couldn't live without Google calendar, always in sync on my phone and online. Travel reservation details get entered by the system, invitations from others automatically entered when accepted, etc. Less effort for more information and always with me.

Nope, haven't bought a calendar in I-don't-know-how-long. Get more than enough free ones, and even one is more than enough for me. I use the calendar on my smart phone. Once I enter a birthday, anniversary, or any repeating event, it's there, don't have to re-enter every year. It will remind me of appointments or (any other event) however often I need it to, and as far in advance as I may need. My smartphone is a very useful and necessary tool in my life!

Yes, but I ended up with a glut this year due to errors. I get the picture a day for the office; was quite sad they discontinued the National Parks and Eco-travel themed ones. The company sent the wrong one first, corrected and told me to keep the error. Ordered a Zelda one for my son, and they sent three. Again, they said not to bother sending the extras back. I get 1-2 freebies also.

I buy a cat one a day calendar by my computer. I waited too long this year and couldn't get the Workman glossy day one so just got the tear off. I buy an expensive folk art Lang calendar for my kitchen also on Dec. 26th.

When the kids were in school, I bought a large desk blotter sized calendar for the kitchen by the phone. Each square was so large that I was able to write in appointments for all of us, directions to where we would be going, etc. At the beginning of the school year, I entered school holidays, half days, and each day that report cards were due to come home. DD only recently told me that they were the only kids who delivered their report cards to mom and dad right away because of that. She told of one friend with a bad report card that was to come home the last day of school before Christmas. The group of friends tried to help keep those parents unaware so that their friend would not be grounded during the holidays. She knew that wouldn't work at our house. You never know what helps prod your kids. Glad I kept a calendar.

I love buying my two calendars per year. I have a big glossy one that hangs in the kitchen. I put all the birthdays and my SS deposit day on that one. Then I have either an Audubon or Sierra Club engagement calendar that sits on the kitchen counter (where the phone used to be LOL) and I keep all appointments on that one. It shows a week at a time. I love their pictures. My wall calendar varies. I've had horses, dogs, birds, nature. This year's is a new one to me. It's beautiful nature scenes from around Ohio.

My neighbor gets piles of different ones in the mail mostly garden or animal subjects. She shares them with us. I will buy one of the small types that look like a checkbook with a clear plastic cover. I keep it in the desk drawer I keep track of my dogs pills and vet visits and a few other things that I don't have on my phone calendar. My husband bought a small Harley one just for the pictures.

I buy the Workman cat-a-day desk calendar (same as lily316 above) and love the daily quotes. I have purchased this calendar every year for the past 12 or more years and love it.

We get a free one from the feed store. I bought a planner type one for myself.

We get sooooooooooooo many beautiful calendars of all styles and sizes from different charities and we pick and choose what we want to keep, then we put them on our "give away bench" in our condo garage and they disappear in an hour or less. People seem to be happy to get pretty calendars free.

We do purchase a month-at-a-glance calendar book every year and keep it on the kitchen counter by the phone. We write our daily activities, what we had for dinner, what movie we went to, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. That book turns out to be our bible and we save all of our old books for reference. I pack them up twice a year and travel between 2 homes with them because we spend 1/2 of each year in 2 different places and we can't seem to be without our diaries/bibles :)

I get a print out activities calendar each month from here at the Retirement Community where I live. My daughter donates to every thing there is in regard to animals so she gets a variety each year, and brings me several. I choose one that is 12 months and has large print and spaces. I take the extras on our weekly shopping bus trip to the grocery stores, (and of course WalMart) and give them to whoever wants or needs one. So they are definitely shared and used.

We keep a small monthly calendar on the kitchen desk. It's big enough to hold both our schedules, and much easier to write on than something hanging on a wall. I buy one of these as soon as I see one -- fewer available in this size. 2017 has 'gardens' as the theme.

Like Janie, we save our calendars to jog our memories as needed. (Reminiscing often slows discovery of the entry sought!)

You all will think I'm nuts but I keep old large Lang calendars...folk art, and cat ones. They are high quality and then at the end of every year, I find one which corresponds to the current year and hang that one on a bedroom wall so I can glance at it. Wrong year(but I'm not that senile to forget what year it is) but with correct days.

Same ones every year, after X/más when 50% off

black cats

schnauzers

doxies

antique maps

I get lots of beautiful calendars from charities I donate to, choose one to hang up and give the rest away. Then I never look at the one I've hung up because I only use the one on my smartphone which coordinates with my computer and iPad.

Yes. One in the kitchen, one in our bedroom and one in the spare room. Favorite themes are horses, lighthouses, dogs, and mixed animals.

Mixed Animals? :)

Sue

A large wall-sized one from the garage - animals.

I used to get a pocket-sized one from the insurance co., but they discontinued.

The credit union had a pocket-sized one among other freebies at the opening of a new branch a couple of years ago, I got one for last year ...but when I asked about it last month, they told me that they'd come in a while ago but that the last one had disappeared a couple of weeks before.

So ... I've been making my own, somewhat larger than their offering ... almost finished. I'm to take cookies to the Over 50 club in April, and I wrote that down this afternoon, as it's completed beyond that.

Don't have a cell phone - yet.

I use my planner and computer for calendars. Planner also has a lot of extra stuff, like setting goals, to do lists with check off boxes.

DH logs his construction crews time and at what job they worked, on a daily planner, then we buy 2 more for the house.

This year, I got plenty of free wall calendars. I bought one write-in calendar for appointments and do-list reminders. I'm lost without a reminder calendar.

I buy one with the magnetic strip that holds the 6 reversible pages together from Miles Kimble every year. It goes on the refrigerator to write appointments and birthdays on. No pictures, just the months with space for writing in each day that important stuff.

This year for the first time, I also bought 50 of those credit card sized calendars to put in Christmas cards sent to family and friends. They are great to put In a purse or wallet....or keep in handy places around the house.

The dozen or so free and usually lovely calendars that came in the mail from charities or other various places went to a local nursing home.

Other than the birthday calendars that community groups sell as fundraisers, I don't recall ever buying a calendar. The school band no longer does the calendar fundraiser, so I use free calendars I get in the mail. I think this year the pics are classic cars.

I make five of them each year with family pictures from the year. One for my Mom and each child. And then we save them. I used to sell some with photos, but the site I used got way too expensive.

We buy one every year to hang in the hall off of the kitchen. I need somewhere to stick the "heartworm preventative for the dogs" reminder. Usually hubby likes a muscle car calendar but this year I chose it first. America the Beautiful, various lovely scenes from all over the country.

The only calendar I use is the one at work. A desk top one. We buy a calendar each year for my inlaws...They keep it inside one of their kitchen cabinet doors.

Here is a sad (for me) story. The year I fancied myself an almost pro photographer, I decided to make my own calendar and give away as Christmas presents. I can't tell you the hours I spent picking just the right pics, with familial meanings, etc. I gave one to a certain relative with anniversaries, BDs, etc. cutely highlited. I nearly died the next visit after Christmas, when the relative had taken down the calendar and put up the Atwoods calendar that is given to customers for free yearly. My work of art was tucked in an unceremonious corner of the room, ready to be trashed when nobody was looking. Hanging of the Atwoods calendar was not a habit to be broken, despite my best intentions. Knocked the wind out of my photographer soul, hahaha sniff hahaha sniff

I usually make a calendar on Shutterfly with trip and grandkid pictures but didn't have time this year. On the other hand, we got calendars from every nature entity that we support and at least one we don't, plus the local paper I picked the one that I liked best and have 7 that I'm putting in the goodwill bag.
