Favorite holiday indulgence would have to be champers on Christmas morning while the kids are squealing with delight over what Santa has brought.

And having wonderful desserts with my family over the course of the holidays!
My mother’s mincemeat tarts. Mmmm. Both delicious and baked with love.
Hmm…my favourite holiday indulgence is sleeping in late, drinking coffee spiked with Bailey’s all morning/early afternoon and reading one of the books/trashy magazines i got for Christmas in my pajamas. I never feel guilty about not getting dressed, and it’s so cozy to be inside on Boxing Day with nothing to do after all of the craziness.
My favourite holiday indulgence is to get a haircut to add some volume to my flat hair, colour and a manicure and pedicure. I also buy the most comfortable pajamas so I can cuddle in front of the tv with my 4 year old son.
My favourite holiday indulgence would have to be sparkly mani/pedis! Nothing says it’s the holidays like a sparkling manicure/pedicure
Hi,
I don’t really have a favorite holiday indulgence other than making sure I have a tree up & that my children have some presents to open up on Christmas Day – I come from a family with many siblings & our parents weren’t able to buy us presents – we would get a present from our aunt. My fondest memories of Christmas when I was a young child / adolescent was helping my mother make all the sweets (cookies, raisin pies etc) & playing cards with all of my cousins.
My favorite holiday beauty related indulgance is a diy manicure with a new nail polish in a festive holiday collection color, reds, golds silver sparkles. Right now I am loving Animal-istic from the OPI muppet theme holiday collection.
It’s definitely the Christmas baking… there are so many goodies, you can’t help but sample them all!
Holiday Indulgences: Before going to bed whenever I choose (ah, college student sleep schedule); I drink warm milk and cozy up to a nice book.
Buying a few too many girly-girly presents for my little girl!
Indulgence Day: Dog park + Americano. Piping hot Epsom salts bath. Leftover turkey sammy (hello?! All that mayo? Um. Ya.). Couch. DVDs. Cabernet. Phone off.
My favourite holiday indulgence is hanging out all Christmas day without getting changed out of my comfy cozy jammies!! Oh, and maybe eating a few too many tasty holiday treats as welll
OMG, my favourite holiday indulgence is all the yummy homemade treats. All my family are great bakers and this time of year we gorge on baked goods! From my mother-in-laws Greek specialties, to my sister’s “Magic cookie bars” and “Neiman Marcus Million Dollar cookies”, my favourite “Coconut Pecan scones”…I could go on and on and on and on…LOL
Happy Holidays, Lisa
My favourite holiday indulgence is eating lots of homemade food!
Amazing giveaway! I already suscribe! My biggest indulgence and weakness is chocolate!
Favourite holiday indulgence – PC Candy Cane Fudge Crackle ice cream (just finished eating some) and ginger bread men.
My favorite holiday indulgence(s) is buying at least two of the latest makeup palettes/boxsets that always come out at this time of year(@ Sephora). My recent purchase was the one by Tarte – The Starlet. So pretty! And my last indulgence is making several different types of squares and cookies as Xmas gifts, and ensuring there are many left for me to indulge in! (last night it was Shortbread – is that included in a Clean Diet?)
My indulgence is the full fat eggnog!! None of the light or low fat stuff, since eggnog is only around once a year may as well go all out!!!
My favorite holiday indulgence is a creamy mug of egg nog, sprinkled with freshly grated nutmeg and finished off with a splash of dark rum. Nothing warms your insides like sipping on this in-front of a “roaring” fake electric fire.
Merry Christmas!
Eggnog, mulled wine, and buttery shortbread; plus crispy homemade waffles and Mimosas for Christmas breakfast.
White chocolate christmas mints from Bulk Barn wooop

My favourite holiday indulgence is glitter – I don’t wear it to the office but for holiday parties I love glitter – on my nails, shimmer on the face
My fave holiday indulgence is all of the yummy homemade treats that come along with visiting with friends and family. Like spending time with them wasn’t special enough!
My fave holiday indulgence is the yummy treats that appear when visiting with friends & family. Like spending time with them wasn’t special enough!
Using the parties as an excuse to splurge on that make up item I really really want but don’t technically need, champagne and a good book for post christmas snuggling.
Another vote for baked goods! I eat a grain-free diet on a budget, but at this time of year I don’t mind buying a bunch of expensive almond flour to make delicious treats.
Ooo, and homemade eggnog, a new outfit, watching Christmas movies, and about a million boxes of clementines.
my holiday indulgence would be taking a long bubble bath and giving myself a nice facial, mani and pedi… a massage would be nice!
all the food and holiday treats
Peppermint bark and cozy, snowy nights with Christmas movies (preferably on the Family Channel or Lifetime!)

Indulgence = holiday music with bourbon and egg nog!
My fave holiday indulgence is buying gifts for the people I love the most, even when I can’t afford much, I’m a giver. It makes me feel rejuvenated, much more than any mani or pedi! I find the biggest part of looking good on the outside is feeling good inside!
putting up the tree, with the fire going and a good glass of wine, look forward to it every year
Oh, without a doubt, my favourite holiday indulgence is to savour two guaranteed blackberry-less days – and to then spend that precious time drinking red wine (in the afternoon), pouring through stacks of glossy mags, enjoying leisurely manicures with my sister, and laughing until my stomach hurts. Bliss.
My favorite holiday indulgence…so many to name! Probably taking a warm bath, painting my nails, cuddling up in some cozy PJs, and watching a movie while it’s snowing outside! ♥
My favourite Holiday Indulgence are the myriad of appetizers. I’m not a ‘sweets’ person – appetizers are delicious, although not usualy low-cal.
My favorite holiday indulgence is having a decadent Christmas morning. I always make a huge breakfast (french toast, bacon, fresh fruit, cheese ) before we open gifts. Thankfully my little girl is patient. I then add some Baileys to my coffee after we are done and it begins! I guess having alcohol in the morning is probably the most decadent part of that ritual!
I’m a regular email subscriber (and love it!!!).
