Have a Day Page-a-Day

HADPAD08

I deeply regret to tell you all that the “Have a Day Page-a-Day calendar” can’t be found online at the moment, and I’m trying to find out from my publisher where someone can possibly find them in the “real world”. Obviously, the “Have a Day” calendars just aren’t in demand as they’ve been in the past, which I find to be rather weird since I think it’s pretty timeless stuff. It’s also the heart and soul of Mantis Design. Nevertheless, my publisher has informed me that we won’t be doing a calendar for 2008. Anyway, I will be looking to relaunch the calendars sometime in the future.

all the best,

Gerald | Mantis Design

    My son asks for his Have a Day calendar first every year for Christmas…and often comes to the dinner table telling us what day it is. He will be really disappointed that he won’t be getting one this year. Is it both the wall calendar and the page a day calendar that aren’t being printer or just the page a day?

    There are lots of people who want this calendar. I know a 12 year old that wants this calendar. I have been out looking for this and I get the same response from the vendors. Other people have asked for this calendar. Please make it again.

    My sons’ started buying me the “Have a Day Calandars” a few years ago to cheer me up when I first became sick and they have brightened some of my most miserable days. I would love to have one for 2008…it’s become a tradition for my boya to buy me one for Christmas every year and they are really bummed cause they can’t find any. Do you know where we can get one? Possibly have an on-line issue?

    My sons began buying me your “Have a Day Calandars” years ago when I first became ill and it has helped to keep me smiling through some pretty horrible times. It’s become a Family Tradition for the boys to buy me one every year for Christmas…..any idea how we can get one? Can we print one off the internet? If you can’t get that one, do you have any other ideas? It really means a lot to my kids. Everything they can do to help with my recovery helps them to deal with the fear of what their Mom is going through.

    Hope you all have the Best Holiday Season Ever!!!

    Hi, I just wanted to say that I’ve been getting your have a day calendar since 2003 and I am extremely dissappointed that there won’t be one for 2008. Unless I read your statement incorrectly I am under the impression that even the page a day calendar won’t be published. What an extreme bummer that is to hear. I really really hope that your publisher will change their mind.

    Have a great holiday season.

    I am extremely sad that I will not be able to get my have a day calendar this year! That is the ONLY calendar that I have purchased in the last 4 years. Nothing else compares to it. I truly enjoyed them and will miss the calendar. One Christmas present for myself gone.

    I’m really bummed! My daughter asked for it. I thought I had ordered it but ended up getting a wall one. Not what she asked for. I just back on to try again and you say there isn’t one.
    WHY???? It brings joy to so many. Is it still possible to find it, even if I have to walk into a store again.

    Please let me know! Thank you!

    Ok, I’m officially freaking out! I have bought the Have a Day calendar since they first came out. I have collected smiley faces for years now (even have a tattoo) and my Have a Day calendars are irreplaceable. I always have one and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now without it. THIS JUST SUX! Bring back my Have a Day calendar!!!!!!!

    I just wanted to say that I have been given this clanader for three years straight and to have ti discontinued makes me cry. Honestly this was the best gift I got every year it was published. If there is ANY way you can bring it back. I don’t care if it costs $50 a calander. I WILL pay it. This is the only calander I use. Ever. So with that in mind…

    BRING IT BACK! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

    Thanks,

    Jake

    WHAT!!! PLEASE BRING Have a Day BACK. I collect smiley’s and I depend on your calendar to cheer up the people that pass by the IT department. They also ask me where they can get one and read the stories on each month.

    I could not BELIEVE it when I read that it was discontinued. What a major BUMMER.

    How much can each of us put in to start Have a day again? Maybe I can start a fund/collection online? Let me know.

    Thanks,

    Mary

    Hey everyone. I am slated to be working on bringing back “Have a Day” this Fall. I basically gotta figure out a way to “re-introduce” it, and hope it goes well. That means a calendar for 2010…thanks for all the emails and support,
