I'm sure that much of this has already been said, but if I want something and can afford it, then I get it for myself. I don't wait for a specific time of year or occasion. That way, when a holiday comes, I never complain that I didn't get exactly what I wanted because I did. When people are generous enough to give me things that I need and would have to buy anyway, I am really appreciative because I now have a budget to buy things that I want when I get a chance. Maybe its all in the way I look at it. Being remembered and staying in the thoughts of people who are significant in my life is more important than a bunch of stuff that I may want today and forget tomorow.
