I never really considered calendar recycling before. But since I didn't happen upon a 2011 calendar from anyplace for free this year, and I'm really too cheap to buy one, I started looking at what years could be recycled for this year.

Well, it turns out that 2005 is a dead ringer for 2011, and I happen to still have the Castles calendar I used that year. So tomorrow it will be going back up on the wall in my office. The nice thing about it is that the year isn't really referenced anyplace other than the front cover, so no-one will know how cheap I am once it's back on the wall.

For home, we happen to have a vintage 1977 Morris the Cat (9Lives) calendar that we're going to reuse. Now don't ask me why we still have a calendar from 1977, but I will say we haven't hoarded every single used calendar from the time we started buying them. It's probably got something to do with Morris, who I just think is the most handsome cat!

Just for my own amusement:

2011 = 2005
2012 = Leap year. Use 2006 calendar for first two months and 2007 calendar for the balance of the year, omitting calendar use completely for February 29th.
2013 = 2002
2014 = 2003
2015 = 2009
2016 = Leap year. Use 2010 calendar for first two months and 2011 (or 2005 again if it's not completely ratty by then :lol: ) calendar for the balance of the year, again omitting calendar use on 2/29.
 
You can google "Perpetual Calendar" - a total of 14 calendar layouts will cover any year, following a certain pattern.

Example: your 2003 calendar will be good again in 2014. 2004 won't be usable again until 2032 though. :lol:

2012 uses , at the most recent, 1984's calendar. Also 1956, 1928, 1888 and 1860.
