The Christmas season is a time to give to others, but don't forget, you need to reward yourself for making it through another year of hard work, for keeping your head above water during these challenging economic times, and for keeping your peace in the midst of all the holiday stress. Here are five Christmas gift ideas you can reward yourself with this holiday season...
1. Take a Short Vacation: Going away on a short trip is a great way to help you unwind. You can get away without spending too much money just by vacationing in another city within your own state., If you live in a bustling city, you might enjoy visiting a more peaceful country town. Likewise, if you live in the country or the burbs, you might want to spend a day or two site seeing in the city.
2. Give Yourself the Gift of Scented Aromatherapy Candles: Scented candles are very therapeutic. You can place them throughout your home, especially your bedroom and bathroom, and you will feel soothed and pampered by aromatic clouds of pleasure.
3. Take a Trip to the Local Day Spa: Massage therapy has a variety of benefits to both body and mind. It's therapeutic uses include relief from joint stiffness and muscle pain, and it improves blood circulation.Bodywraps nourish, tone and detoxify your skin, and calms your nervous system to help you relax.

4. Rent a Limousine: The truth is that a limousine can make any occasion special. Indulge in total luxury as you and your spouse or significant other, or your best friends go out to a five star restaurant and a concert or play.

5. Give Yourself the Gift of Forgiveness: It is so important to forgive people who have wronged you as hard as it may be.This is not something you do for the one who offended you, but rather something you do for yourself. Forgiving others releases us from anger and allows us to receive the healing we need. It also spares us from the consequences of living out of an unforgiving heart."But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses." (Mark 11:26). Forgiveness is a choice so choose the gift of forgiveness for yourself and be free from pain, anger and bitterness!
