Who else hates Christmas? Lol. I've started hating that holiday. It's beautiful out, but we never have money for gifts for the kids. We haven't had the funds for it for the past 6 years. It's hard to tell little kids that Santa was going to send their gifts later because the elves ran out of supplies to make their gifts with, and then to hear them cry later on because they asked around and were the only ones Santa forgot at the school and have them ask you what they did wrong to where Santa doesn't want to give them presents...it's heartbreaking. We've tried doing fun stuff and making it about family time and not gifts, but their dad has their mentality so warped...he gets gifts from the police station, hospital, salvation army, goodwill, and they get "adopted" by a rich family each year to get supplied with gifts while at his place...he doesn't have to spend a dime. So our Christmas is spent trying to come up with enough money to give them a big meal and, if were lucky, a stocking with small stuff in it. There's that. But now we're adding in that my mom has stage 3 lung cancer and it's progressing aggressively and rapidly, so the doctors feel she may make it to Christmas, if she's lucky, but don't feel she'll make it to see January of the new year. I hate the holidays, but I don't want my daughter growing up with that hatred for a holiday she should deem fun and magical...but money wise? We can't provide gifts for them...which makes the holiday, in their eyes, null and void. Ugh.

You could even purchase prepaid visas when you get your tax return & hold onto them until the holiday season... that way you could even shop online if the hour drive to Watertown was too much during the winter months 🙃
