I also think this will help with that weird malaise that follows Christmas, where you've worked yourselves up to this fever pitch in preparation and then crash afterward.

It does feel great!
We have a car but are very far from "real" shopping, which has made it similarly impossible to impulse shop or run out here and there.
My "big" splurge was spending the $20 per person on extended family - I had said I wouldn't. But, I know they would have taken it personally and I decided it was important enough to do it.
I feel so calm and relaxed...I just love this!
