    I think that it's just a justification for buying something for yourself.
    Not exactly the 'gift giving' spirit is it?

    Skip the pretense, and just get yourself what you want. No big deal.

    I usually get some little thing I want for myself, and wrap it up to myself "from Star and Sherman" -- hee hee, they want me to be happy too! Last year "they" gave me a nice scarf with doggies on it that I wear to the dogpark. I think it's gong to be one of those PT calendars this year!

    I wish. We can't even afford to get OTHER people Christmas presents this year. I'd feel horrible if I spent any money on myself instead of others. I'm already considering forgoing a Christmas tree because I can't justify spending money on a soon-to-be dead tree and then expecting everyone to understand that we didn't have the money to get THEM something. If it were just us this Christmas, it'd be a no-brainer... but I'm having a really hard time not having a tree up for Aidan's first Christmas, nowhere to put the ornaments people have gotten for him, etc. *sigh*

    Yes, I do. I usually buy a little something and put it under the tree To: Mommy From Sasha, Sebastian and Miko (border collie and ferrets). In fact, this year this trio has gotten their mommy a very nice bracelet.

    Any excuse I can find to buy something I want, I use. It can be Christmas, my birthday, the sun's shining, etc...

    Nah, I don't. Infact I do the opposite, I guess. I usually don't buy myself anything around Christmas time incase people have gotten it for me.

    -thank you Poppy for the avatar.

    Sort of. Stuart doesn't shop and he doesn't "do" Christmas. So I take his credit card and buy myself something from him! This year he is buying me Season 4 of 24 on DVD. I'd prefer if he actually went shopping, but we've been together long enough that I know that will never happen. I would just be disappointed. This way he doesn't have to shop and I always get something I actually want!

    Why of course I do.
    I haven't had anyone in my life diring x-mas time for the last few years & our family doesn't buy for adults (just kids) so I don't get any x-mas presents from anyone anymore.
    If I did have a b/f &/or my family bought for the adults too I probably wouldn't.

    I was going to buy myself a new home computer (mine died a while ago) but I ended up spending a LOT on Chaos's vet bills, health care & the such that I am completely broke right now. I did by myself a new pair of pants though.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.
