Hmm. Very thought-provoking. My biggest gifts to myself this holiday will be/should be:

- Seeing my parents. Involves lots of money to fly there but it's more about the family ties than consumption. 
- Disengaging from the stresses of parenting my unruly stepdaughter without guilt and anxiety. 
- 10 minutes of uninterrupted time in the morning to drink my coffee and ease into the day. Every day. My favorite time of the day. 
- A  whole weekend of avoiding the grocery store. 
- A guaranteed entire weekend of time alone (nobody else, just me) once every month. 
- 2 extra hours of lying in bed and reading a good book in the morning on the weekends. How decadent!
- Watching a good movie in the middle of the day in jammies on the weekend (in keeping with the decadence theme)
- Enjoying food and drink through the holidays without guilt (I work out enough the rest of the year!)
