I like giving gifts too, so I know where you're coming from. But you know, sometimes, like this year, we can't afford to be as giving as we'd like to be. Life's just like that. Don't let it get you down. Enjoy the nice parts about the season, eh? Pretty bright shinies!
Yesterday, I was amazed at how much better I felt after going shopping. Now some of you might say "duh," but I wouldn't have felt better after shopping for myself. I was shopping for gifts -- for my coven, to exchange today, and for Teem's family. By the time I was done I felt warm and calm and even somewhat happy, because I'd found things that I'm pretty sure will put smiles on people's faces. That makes me happy, plain and simple.

I have three people left to buy for and may end up going the gift card route myself out of desperation. I can give the Gifting Gods until Wednesday to inspire me, but then it's either gift cards or socks.
Can you bake? If you can, you might want to take cookies/a cake/whatever to some party you plan to attend. That can be your way of giving of yourself this year, so you can feel better.
Merry Christmas (or Yule, or Hanukkah, or whatever you happen to celebrate). I know! Happy New Year!

upset if I knew someone was stressing over getting me anything.
