How many times have I gone into a store with the best intention of buying a present for someone else and coming out with something for me...LOL...I'm like you Anno, I SAY I won't buy myself anything from mid-November until after Christmas. But alas...temptation is everywhere...
It wasn't so hard this year, being so scattered and hectic, I didn't have much time or inclination to do any more shopping than I absolutely had to (in fact, did much of it online this year), so I ended up buying LOTS of gifts for everyone else and nothing for me. Even had to cancel my hair appointment on Monday - had it booked for weeks, but wouldn't you know it, the only day I had something special booked for myself and that's the day out of the entire month that my brother's CAT scan gets booked! Oh well, I'm sure hubby can stand these bad hair days for another few weeks! (I don't even look in the mirror anymore).

I try to save money in the Fall to accomodate my Christmas budget, taking into account job bonus which helps greatly. However, there are so many bargains that I see for myself, and have bought myself a few things and keep a list for after holiday sales! I set limits on the nieces/nephews, they are so spoiled and don't fully realize the intrinsic value of Christmas -- I enjoy the time and effort into selecting and wrapping their presents, only to have them ripped open and set aside for the next in a blink!

I am not good at sticking to a holiday budget. With 6 kids and seven grandkids and more that we love to spoil, it is just too hard. Plus, alot of them have December birthdays so add that to the mix. The holidays are a ton of fun for our family : ) Cindy
