I Want Stuff!
I tend to not buy anything between Thanksgiving and Christmas (I give up presents for Advent). I put things on my wishlist, and hope I'll get it at the end of my deprivation period. Then I go on a shopping spree after I get my Christmas bills paid off, to buy the things I really wanted and didn't get.
About now, I'm looking at my list and thinking, "I really *want* some of these things. Can I buy them now? But what if someone already got it for me? But what if they didn't and I'll have to wait until January or February?"
Commercialism has got a hold of me. I've gotten the urge to read the Harry Potter books again, so maybe that can occupy my buying-lust until Christmas.

Two Words: High Maintenance
You're telling me that because I'm dying to see the extended version of The Return of the King, that I'm high maintenance? Bah. Maybe I shouldn't have put it on my wishlist - maybe I just should have bought it outright. But out of courtesy to my family, I don't, so they have easy things to buy me for Christmas and aren't struggling for ideas.
My bank balance would appreciate me not buying things, but I want stuff now! Besides, only a small group buy presents- a few friends and my family, and I'm looking to get a TV for Christmas, so minimal other presents.
