Don't Buy Yourself Stuff

While it's tempting to buy yourself goodies at Yule, wait until after the holidays, when your budget can handle it.

It's really tempting when we're out shopping for others to treat ourselves to something special. Hit five or six stores, and the next thing you know, you've got a bunch of cute new shoes for yourself, but you still haven't gotten anything for Grandma or Uncle Bob. Fight the temptation - you'll be glad you did later on. If you really need to reward yourself, promise yourself a day at a spa after the holidays, or plan a post-Yule lunch date with friends, when everyone needs to relax.

If you really want to do something nice and self-rewarding, meditate alone to de-stress, or try a Yule Cleansing Ritual.
