You complained to me that you didn't receive as many Christmas gifts as you did last year, but:

--Your pockets are filled with cash, and others are panicking because they no longer have any.
--You are liquid and are even planning to buy a lot more things you want, and others are in debt and have no idea how to pay up.
--You bought yourself the best, personal gifts of all, and others were unable to buy their families the gifts that they asked for.
--Your refrigerator and pantry are well stocked, and others are scrimping and saving and mooching on other people's food.

Always tell yourself this, that, after all is said and done, the most pleasing gifts of all are those that you buy yourself, and that there are no two ways about it.
