Thanks! Oh, they'll definitely send me more catalogues. I get one perhaps every 3 months or so. The Xmas ones are always packed with the cheesiest stuff, though. One of the things that I didn't choose was a porcelain (of course) Xmas tree adorned with little ornaments and reindeer and furry woodland creatures...and slapped on the one side of it among all the happy stuff was a crucified Jesus, face all twisted in pain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Xmas supposed to celebrate his birth? Nice way to trash the holiday spirit! Think about it, you're looking at the tree and it's like, "Happy happy, joy joy, happy happy, jo-AAAAAAARRRRRRGGHHHH!"
