Shout Yourself

In Australian slang, to "shout" something means to boisterously do a good deed or provide a treat. To shout a round of drinks at the pub means to buy the round for your friends. So this Christmas, as you bake or knit or buy gifts for all the other people on your list, don't forget yourself. After all, charity begins at home, right? So shout yourself something, whether it's a trip to a spa or a bookstore spree or a cozy evening at home.

This one's on me.
