If I don't get the present I really wanted (chances of which are big since we don't buy eachother gifts) I throw myself on the floor and scream until I get it LMAO
Sometime you just want to feel like a kid again....
No, jokes aside,... Of course it is ok to buy it yourself. At least then you get exactly what you want.
Merry Christmas.

I am a firm believer in getting yourself what you really wanted and didn't get. That being said make sure you have the money to buy it cause it isn't much fun to have what you wanted if you can't really afford it cause then you are stuck paying for it for a really long time at a high interest rate on your credit card every month. It took a while to learn that in the end those things I really want aren't that nice when I am paying for them for a really long time. Of course when there is money to pay for it right away it is great to treat yourself to something you really want.

Yes - we usually plan for it. The only gifts we give to each other are really from the kids. So we use any monetary gifts for fun selfish purposes :) But since we try to be responsible - we make sure not to go overboard.

I always end up buying things for myself! My husband can't buy me every single thing I want. The poor guy would go mad!

Men are raised by wolves...my sister taught me that...
my husband no lie...will buy me a $2 thing...he will buy for me all the time...it's just that somehow I accidentally married Jack Benny for those of us who are old enough to know who he is...it used to really fry my twitters...but now...I just laugh as secretly before Christmas I shop my little heart out and after too... I'm not doing anything wrong..it's just that in his mind...he figures what is that small gift between us...his idea of love is Ruthie loves this or that so he just picks it up whenever he sees it...I have felt bad before and cried and all that...but it didn't change him...it just made me pitiful...I learned from Keith Moore...NEVER EVER FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF...so it's not that my husband doesn't love me it's just that while he's watching the meter twirl around for the heat, and counting pennies...and crying over the economy...I'm planting tulips for the next adventure, I'm drinking champagne and eatting lobster, and laughing...saying oh well, men are raised by wolves...I have christmas every day and his mind is in the dark pits of halloween...point being...I love my husband, not going to change him, Does it matter to me that he gave his boss (a woman of course) a bigger gift..no...because he loves me...and it is just how he is made...I just accept him...and stop worrying about holidays...I laugh instead and have a good time...check out psalm 3 god laughs too...that is one way to handle stress...it goes away by putting things in prespective...hey if my husband had his way I'd be hauling water, wearing rags, and never look good...then he'd see a 20 year old girl and tell me what a loser I am and how I should keep up ...(but he'd never pay for it..)
bottomline again...believe it or not my husband appreciates the fact that I love to spend and he doesn't...even though he crabs... It's called wisdom..I'm a church girl...and sometimes women are just plain stupid..God wants ya to use your brain...remember Abigal in the Bible had a husband that was stingy and she spent anyway..not crazy but for normal things in life. .Look good, act happy, and enjoy life...keep it simple...Men love ya...they are just raised by wolves!

I don't see anything wrong with buying yourself something you wanted that you didn't get for Christmas. If I had the extra money I would, but this year I can't. :(

I already did! Went out and bought new jeans, new pants, new shirts. Work clothes but sorely needed. Also a new purse to match. We have a deal that we don't buy anything for yourself at least 6 weeks before Christmas. Prevents a lot of problems. But anything you don't get that you want, after Christmas and within reason, is fair game after Christmas. He's already been on ebay buying some of the DVD's he didn't get. LOL

I usually wait until I get a bonus in March and buy what I wanted, if I did not get it for Christmas. Things I want are either computer needs (I got a printer this year) or not that outrageous, like a scrapbook weekend.

There are not many around who buy for me so I go and buy for myself what I want periodically through the year. There is one perk about being a single parent in that I never have to worry if my man forgot to get me something for Christmas and ended up being to cheep to get something nice yadda yadda
This year though I got what I needed instead of what I wanted from various angels out there looking after me.
