Every year at Christmas I buy myself a piece of jewelry. Well, I usually do this a few weeks before Christmas but I don’t allow myself to look at it until the 26th. This somehow helps keep me sane through the holidays. I know that I have a reward waiting for me at the end.
For whatever reason, I forgot this year. I just couldn’t find anything that I had to have. At least I couldn’t find anything that I had to have that I could actually afford. Granted one of my goals is to own so much jewelry that I have to increase my home insurance. Although it’s a broken tradition I think it shows that I enjoyed the holidays this year & that I don’t need more material possessions to be happy. Although, sparkly things always make life seem better. Saving money just seemed more important this year. Now I know why everyone is so concerned about consumer confidence dropping.
