HELP ANY IDEAS FOR CHRISTMAS! for someone who aint having one!?

Merry Christmas! You know your family best. What do siblings do? The younger ones look up to the older ones...maybe the 18 year old has a favorite sweater, piece of jewelry, etc. that she would be willing to give to her sisters (and vice versa). Same with the boys. Then you could have them plan a family talent show, sing, tell a story, rap, dance, read a poem, do a skit, etc. After that you could play board games & eat popcorn. We have often just given memories...write out your special memories of each person and put them in a booklet or photo album for each of them. Have everyone contribute to the books. You can always use an old book and paste new words, or photos in them. Get a can of silly string for everyone and go outside and have a silly string fight. Go christmas caroling around your neighborhood (they will often give out cookies, fudge, etc.)

If you don't even have finances for a meal, volunteer to serve at a local soup kitchen or mission...they will also allow you to eat there. Then you and your family will truly know how blessed you are to have each other, your health and your love.

Remember, sometimes gifts get in the way of life. Life is about what you do, who you are, NOT what you own. Stuff is just waiting to clutter up your home, relationships and life.

Merry Christmas and have a fun-filled holiday!

The thing is that Christmas isn't just about gift giving. It's about family being together sharing and loving one another. I've had more than one Christmas where we didn't have anything. One in particular I will never forget. My mother had 8 children and we got those big Nestle crunch bars wrapped in papersack squares and tied with yarn. It was the best that she could do. I was 9 years old at the time. If you each would make something from the heart. My children made rag dolls out of scraps of old clothes and pictures with glitter words and what not for each other. We even made our own Christmas cards. Go out and find sea shells or special rocks and such and make personal presents of them with words from the heart. If your children know the value of a true gift then they will appreciate what effort it would take to make things that matter. I wish I could show you some of the homemade gifts my children have made through the years. My oldest child is 28 now and I still have her things as well as my 20 and 18 year olds. It's a lifetime gift that matters.

You can apply for public assistance so your family can celebrate a Christmas meal together. You may also qualify for relief for the children (TANF). You can join a freecyle website in your town and people are always giving away Christmas trees and other things. You have to go pick them up. I think too much is made of spending a ton of money for Christmas anyway. Christmas should be more about spending time with the people you love most. I hope your Christmas goes well. God bless.

the element is that Christmas isn't almost present giving. it truly is about kin being mutually sharing and loving one yet another. i have had more beneficial than one Christmas the position we did no longer have some thing. One particularly i am going to not in any respect ignore. My mom had 8 little ones and we were given those vast Nestle crunch bars wrapped in papersack squares and tied with yarn. It develop into the perfect that she ought to do. i develop into 9 years previous on the time. in case you each and every may make some thing from the midsection. My little ones made rag dolls out of scraps of previous clothing and photographs with glitter words and what no longer for another. We even made our personal Christmas playing cards. flow out and discover sea shells or particular rocks and such and make own promises of them with words from the midsection. in the adventure that your little ones recognize the price of a real present then they're going to rejoice with what attempt it may take to make issues that count. I desire i ought to coach you the a number of selfmade presents my little ones have made by skill of the years. My oldest baby is 28 now and that i nevertheless have her issues besides as my 20 and 18 twelve months olds. that is a life-time present that concerns.

I would say make this a religious Christmas, Jesus is the reason for the Season, and let your whole family learn about the Lord and what he has done for us. Perhaps it is not to late for the Church to help you. God Bless you, and a Merry Christmas.

Make a nice dinner, encourage the kids and grandchild to help. Bake cookies, make a mess. Have fun>

do you go to church? if so ask your elders thats what they are there for..Good Luck
