I’m one of those OCD-organized people who’s not content unless everything in my life is perfectly planned and written on a calendar. I keep my “big” one in my handbag, my school planner in my backpack, the family calendar on the fridge, and a reference calendar on the wall in my office. Every December, I look forward to choosing new calendars to help me keep organized (and happy) and this year there are so many to choose from! It seems that there’s a calendar for every hobby, interest, and celebrity… here are 8 great wall calendars.

I fell in love with the Ansel Adams’s nature photography when I was a teenager, and I treasure the gorgeous oak tree in snow print I have above my mantel.

The cartoons in The New Yorker magazine are clever, simply drawn but charming, and this wall calendar features a classic cartoon each month. I was surprised: there were some in here I hadn’t seen. If you’re a fan of the cat cartoons in The New Yorker, there’s even a calendar just for those.

If you could be any of the DC Comics super-heroes, who would you be? I’d be Wonder Woman… or maybe SuperGirl… I can’t decide! This calendar focuses on one of the female DC characters each month, with great fantastic art on all of your favorites.

Fans of the hit TV show Glee will love this calendar. It features the same charming and funny glee club misfits, with one photo each month, in all their glory. The only way this calendar could be better is if it included my dream guest star, Jack Black. What? He’d be perfect, especially pitted against (or paired with) Jane Lynch.

Any crazy cat lady or fan of LOLCATS (or both) will enjoy the photos in the calendar. They’re all of cats behaving badly — dominating the dog, scaring the children, playing with one too many catnip mice. Included with the calendar are 12 postcards, so the lucky calendar owner can share the naughty-kitty joy.

I can’t even pretend to understand the world’s fascination with this child. But chances are, there’s someone on your holiday gift list, or in your household, who loves Justin Bieber, and she would probably LOVE this calendar. But for me? Let me know when Bieber reaches puberty and cuts that hair, and then we’ll see.
Those are just a few of the (literally) dozens of wall calendars at the Borders website, covering every topic and interest you can imagine. There’s sure to be one (or one hundred) calendars you and your family would love to use all year! Which of these calendars do you like best? Or do you not use wall calendars anymore?
