I get it I’m actually a total Scrooge every year. I like decorating a little but that’s about it. I can never afford Christmas, something always happens to where I’m either behind or just getting by. We’re doing Chinese Christmas dinner for the last year. I’m nervous about next year already because I want to have holiday traditions for my daughter to look forward to but I’m already afraid I won’t be able to afford anything again for some reason.
@cocochanel27, it has to. I’m sorry you feel like you haven’t done enough for your kids. I know it eats at your pride. Just know that it’s a great time to teach them the real meaning of Christmas and maybe be totally honest with your 6 year old at least. You can still make this Christmas one he will never forget. I don’t know what it’s like to not be able to give my kids Christmas, just my husband and my family who have done literally everything for me since July. I know my husband feels terrible that he can’t get anything for me and we can’t really afford to do anything for my mom and sister who have been awesome I could have my baby right now and be fine because of them. Her room is full of everything I need except a car seat. My step dad who paid $5000 for my dog’s emergency care this year and bought our $400 reveal dinner last month won’t get anything from us I don’t think.
