I have Grumpy Cat on my calendar, cracks me up! My husband has a large calendar that is Lord of the Rings.

Three...a folk art one in the kitchen, a one a day cat one in the sunroom by the computer and a cat one in an upstairs bedroom.

I don't think I've had one in years. I use the calendars on my iPad, computer and iPhone.

Every single year:

antique maps for DH office

min black schnauzers for back entrance

min poodles (used to be Winnie dogs but ours died, sniff) 2nd Home

black cats in garage

Maps of major cities in the kitchen (January was New York), Star Wars in the computer room (futuristic, you see!)

A dry/erase one with magnetic back that sticks to the fridge, with an accompanying dry erase shopping list, that I just got. You just erase it every month and put in the new month name/numbers.

Kid art. Free from a local hardware store.

Oh no, should I even admit....

DH likes the working desk top pad/blotter type, has no decorations at all. At least, not until he's made notes and scribbles on it all month long while talking on the phone.

I buy refill pages for my Month At A Glance decades old date and address book each year. I keep birthdays, anniversaries, people-type information there -wanna know what date we had our last tetanus shots, I can find it in that book ;0)

And use my computer calendar for monthly reminders of those dates. Windows Sticky Notes for things coming up the current week.

No art or pics here, only info.

Like Lisa I make a calendar every year. June's picture looks like this

It it was to hard to decide on only three to five pictures

My husband brought one home....a freeby from the feed store. I mostly use the one in my planner or on the computer or my cell phone. I see the one hanging on the wall, still is showing the January picture....a black calf.

I’ve told this story before. spent hours and hours and hours picking out just the right pictures to create a calendar for a relative. On a visit, I noticed the calendar on a desk in a forgotten corner of the house. I nearly cried. Two years later another relative went thru the same pains to create a calendar. Ditto where the calendar ended up.

bottom line was this person was used to getting a free calendar from the local hardware store for over 40 years and simply couldn’t get used to anything else. I write about it b/c it still bothers me but I truly know that it is nothing personal about neither one of us. Just one of those things, sigh.

now that ive been buying the same calendars for several years, I’m thinking perhaps I’ll end up being the same way.

None.

We both use Google calendar to track appointments and have for years. It's visible on our smartphones and online. Always with us available to change and refer to, always backed up, It's easy to invite her to events I set up (as a quick means of notification that puts them on her calendar automatically) and vise-versa. Friends send us invites for events, plane and hotel travel reservations can be quickly downloaded and added to the calendar with all needed information. Don't need to look for "what time is the flight", "how long is the layover", "what's the reservation code so we can check in", "which hotel and where is it". Everything in one place with little effort.

A physical calendar wouldn't work for us, the genie is long out of the bottle and thankfully won't go back in.

I don't have any calendars on the walls. When I was still working, I always had two wall calendars hung in my cubicle -- in positions so that I could see them no matter which way I was turned. And, they were always scenes of Italy. I never put any information/appointments on them -- they were there so that I could quickly and easily see upcoming dates. I keep my appointments and info on the calendar on my cell phone and in Outlook on my computer.

My younger sister always uses a wall calendar to keep track of upcoming appointments, etc., so every year for umpteen years now I buy her a new wall calendar for Christmas as one of her gifts. Some years it's ocean or beach scenes, other years it's Ireland (our mother's family was from Ireland), some years it's beautiful garden scenes, etc.

phone, ipad, laptops, and Alexa what am I doing today?

These calendars are more a colorful, rotating art wall in the kitchen and for glancing at the date than anything. They are from Linnea, and the art previously done by the mother is now done by the daughter. I have been using them for years, and DD gives me the set every year for Christmas.

For appointments I keep those on my Apple calendar which I can share with DH. I also keep a pocket calendar that also has a notepad which I frequently use.

a silver perpetual calendar on DH's dresser. Other than that, it's computer or phone calendars (which are synced)

Puppies in the kitchen, Gary Patterson Dogs in the bedroom and horses in my quiet room. I like simply being able to glance up to see the date and jotting down. Lets us know where the other one will be.

I do use my cell phone for tracking my own appointments etc. but I don't share that calendar with DH.

I am the same way with clocks. Recently rediscovered the comfort of analog wall clocks.

I usually buy beachy or light house calenders. In the kitchen I have the big block type to write in information. a small one in the bathroom and bedroom and another one in my computer room for work things. I go nuts with clocks too,

I get the free one from my insurance agent every year and I hang it in our utility room/mudroom. This years has butterflies which my 2 youngest love.

I only put it up so my kids can see a physical calendar to help them learn days of the week, months etc.

We don't use it for anything. All appointments, birthdays, etc are stored on our shared family Google calendar accessible from our phones, tablets, laptops, etc.

Old school here. Dh has a smart phone, but I don't. And I don't utilize the calendar on my Mac. I make a couple calendars using our cats' pics with Snapfish or Shutterfly. Keep notes on the one that hangs inside the linen closet and dh has the easel calendar in his office. Like Outsideplaying, I keep one on the kitchen counter as art. Have a few frames that I swap out depending on which looks best with the month's pic.

I used to get calendars. Then realized that on December 31st when it was time to put the new one up, I hadn't changed it since January.... No more calendars. I just use the ones on my phone and computer.

Whatever I get in the mail. I have one from Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Local Power plant, Wounded Warriors and several others. Also use my computer.

Bossy, I got one of those calendars from DIL. I loved it so much, I wouldn't mar it by using it as a calendar. It's just a wonderful keepsake.

Recently rediscovered the comfort of analog wall clocks.

Here too! One over TV, one in sunroom, one in kitchen and soon one in hallway.

I have Charley Harper wall calendar in my office that my little sprites like to make dates on....they will write down their school schedules, special appointments, or just silly stuff. I've also given each their own for their room; they seem to really like having them.

I am something of a clock collector (analog), I find them very beautiful and graceful, and love having them around.

Re the person who made a calendar for someone and it went unused. I recieved one for Christmas with pictures of my grandson and I did hang it up but the numbers of the days are a very small font and difficult for me to see

We share a calendar hanging in the kitchen. Appointments, birthdays, and finalized plans are written there. It's a freebie from our credit union. Nice monthly picture of local landscape, and the squares are big for writing in.

At my sitting place, I keep a 2nd calendar for possible things to do. My dad gets at least 20 free calendars mailed to him, so I choose one of them that has big squares. I also like the Sunday-Saturday view, never got used to calendars that start with Monday and put the two weekend days together. Events, classes, anything that sounds like it could be fun, gets scrawled on its date as I come across the announcement. As plans solidify, events are put on the kitchen calendar.

Does anyone/everyone keep their old calendars? I keep the old kitchen calendars in a file upstairs. It helps me figure out exactly when certain things happened. Probably when we move next time -- 15 to 20 years from now is the plan -- I'll get rid of them all.

I have 3 A bird one( from dollar store) in kitchen, a smaller one in the bathroom(1/2 size) and one just inside the front door.

Bossyvossy, I am so sorry your effort wasn’t appreciated. I love the calendars my daughter makes for me (actually even posted pictures after I got it for Christmas). This one hangs in the kitchen/ family room. I have another one hanging over the desk in the bedroom. This one is from the Nature Conservatory I think. There are always so many coming from all these organizations it is hard to choose.

I still get a few free ones in the mail too, and I used to take them to work and hang one in my office. I would give the others to co-workers and hang one in the business center near the copier. I always enjoyed the wildlife or nature photos each month.

Bossyvossy, I too am sorry your calendars weren’t used as intended. I recall my mother just loved the ones that were made for her with her grandkids photos. My DD had a journal made for me with a collage of the grandkids on the front. I love it.

I have long used a Mary Englebriet calendar. My daughter gets me one every year for Christmas, and it hangs in my office above my computer. I also have one in my office at work.

Two - one in the office and one in the kitchen. Both are Save the Wildlife calendars that were given to me by a friend. Whatever theme we have is determined by the source of calendar: freebies from the bank, hardware store, ect., gifts from friends, picked up during our travels. One year, we had the coolest calendar that was hand made in Cambodia.

We have one paper calendar and it hangs in the hallway. Muscle Cars for hubby and doubles as a place to stick the reminders to 'dose' the pets with Advantage :-)

I have an actual appointment book that sits on a rack in the kitchen next to my phone charger and a container of pens and pencils. DH and DGS use their phones. We don't always manage to synchronize!

I buy a new calendar every year. This year it is wild animals as a theme.

I do keep dates on Google's calendar, but the paper calendar is truly quick to glance at, and add to.

I have four of them one from the bank, two from the insurance agency, and one was a gift. They are all in a pile in the hallway! I seldom look at a calendar. I guess I should hang at least one up. We have a clock in the living room that tells, the time, the date, and the day.

I don't want to write on a calendar hanging on a wall. We keep a small month-by-month paper calendar on the kitchen desk.

I keep our calendars. Two or three times a year I need to track down some who/what/when. They are also "Trips Down Memory Lane".

I love clocks and calendars! Above my desk I have a Golden Age of Travel calendar purely for the nostalgic value. Above DH's desk is one from one of the charities we donate to. I also have a monthly planner where I keep track of appts. There's another charity calendar in the kitchen and as we move downstairs there is a parrot themed one in the little bathroom and another charity one in the gameroom. The last one hangs in the laundry room---it's put out by the township and sent free.
