Do You Buy Yourself Something For The Holidays?

Last year I bought a couple of things from Etsy and this year I bought headbands and a small painting (not expensive at all) from Etsy, both from sellers I have bought from before so I know they are good sellers.

I was looking at seasonal decoration items at the thrift stores earlier but I'm not doing anything but essential shopping right now. Covid. cases are just going up too much in our area like most. Hopefully next year.

We didn't have Christmas growing up due to my mother. I don't do Christmas myself really but I want to do more decorating and perhaps I will next year.
 

I buy myself something every year if I can, regardless of how small..for the same reason as you @Remy, because we didn't really have Christmas gifts when I was growing up... so although I get gifts now from my family.. I still can't get out of the habit of buying myself something.

Gosh, I just can't imagine a child being short-changed out of Christmas. :(

Myself, I do like to buy myself a little something, even if it's as simple as a poinsettia.

Don't get out of the habit. You deserve to get something you know you want. Not that I deprive myself much and luckily what I want anymore isn't anything expensive. And I like animal related items which is what the painting is.
 
Yes, For many years I have purchased Woodford Reserve between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has a specific place in the cabinet and although I purchase it for myself, everyone knows I buy it or myself, But everyone in the family knows where it is and are free to use it over the holidays. The family put a yellow sticky pad in the cabinet as well and they write I.O.U. one shot etc, etc. on the pad and stick it on the bottle. By new years the bottle is pretty much covered with sticky pads. Although I say it's for me, I buy it for everyone, and has become a tradition over the years. This year, won't be many sticky notes on it, Sadly.
