Holiday Impulse Buys... Yes Please.

 Do you have those holiday impulse buys like I do? Like today, Nicole and I were at the grocery store doing our regular shopping and I couldn't resist reaching into the dairy cooler and pulled out a half gallon of eggnog. Best impulse buy of the week. 

I have a weird love hate relationship with the holidays. Example:

• I love the tasty holiday foods, I hate the tightening jeans.
• I love getting presents, I can never think of a single thing to ask for. 
• I love having Christmas decorations up, I hate having to put them up and take them down.
• I love being together with family, I hate being together with family.
• I love giving presents, I hate worrying about if I found the right gift.
• I love Christmas music on the radio about a week before Christmas, I hate Christmas music on the car ride home from Thanksgiving dinner.

That's just what popped into my head right now. The list is much longer.

I think I like impuse buys because most times they're simple and are a nice 'pick me up' when you're feeling down. Latest example: eggnog. Other latest example: delicious barbecue to make me feel better after a terrible day. (Side Note: I love soul food, like BBQ and jambalya. You can impulse buy me lunch anytime!) 

Do you ever find yourself with a cart full of impulse buys?
