Indecision and the proverbial carrot on the stick

Back at the start of the year I saved up some money for a day activity I wanted to do and planned to do mid July. Basically it was meant as a bit of excitement and living a little after not really getting out and doing much in the past couple of years.
Anyway, intitially it didn't go ahead when planned due to a last minute cancellation, which I was seriously disappointed with after looking forward to it for so long.. but such is life and shit happens. Tried again a couple of weeks later, but again it got cancelled on me due to unforseen circumstances.
Now the problem - I've got to a point where I keep putting it off. It's been the thing I've had to look forward to for so long that I'm not overly fond of the idea of not having it there anymore. However, the longer I put it off, the more likely it is that the money will end up being used for other things, and as the end of the year approaches I can't help but think if the money would be better served going on things (e.g. Christmas presents) if money gets tight.
So I'm stuck and the constant obsessing over what to do is driving me nuts. Go for it, or keep putting it off so that I've still got it there to look forward to. Live a little, or give it up and play safe.
I'm at an impass, so I'm just fishing for other people's opinions on what they would do or have done in such a case of indecision?

If you're worried about xmas money, realize that a good gift doesn't mean an expensive gift either.
Possibly, possibly not. It's a bit chalk and cheese tbh.
Go for the thing I saved the money for and it's a thrill and chance to do something different and exciting for a change, even if just a one off and only a 1 day thing.
Give it up and let the money go on the everyday stuff or towards the likes of presents and it's more a case of having the reassurance that the extra money is there.
Then there's the issue of not having it there to look forward to anymore, which is as much to blame for my putting it off as anything else. When it's gone it's gone and I'm not likely to be able to do it again for quite some time, so perpetual procrastination sets in and I end up driving myself nuts trying to decide whether to put it off again so that I've still got it there to look forward to.
It's madness I say, madness.
