    i asked my 16 year old son and he said sing Christmas carols, read a Christmas story. try your public library to borrow movies you can watch as a family. i just lost my mother in law, so give thanks that your family is still together and healthy. another thing you can do is play games or cut out snow flake ornaments using paper. i hope this helps. good things will come your way. just believe and pray.

    Unless it is a "mystery" that instances are difficult, I'm definite each person will comprehend in the event you provide them certificate that may be redeemed for specified presents you believe they might revel in afterward, while you'll manage to pay for to get them! (Print tem up exceptional & you would even laminate them at Kinkos for subsequent-to-not anything.) I comprehend it feels terrible simply now, however truthfully that is the pleasant time of 12 months to get laid off if it has to occur. Most organizations do such a lot in their hiring within the Spring. Have hubby spend this month running truly difficult on a resume so that it will get him the process he needs, now not simply "the following process he can get"... Best Wishes, and bear in mind, this would be the pleasant Christmas you ever had; no-one shall be disappointe they bought the blue sweater as a substitute of the golf green one, you can all simply need to be thankful you will have each and every different. And that is quite all any folks have! P.S. Miracles do not occur, and neither does "well success"; humans feel in those matters when you consider that a few individuals are larger than others at seizing possibilities which might be throughout us always.

    1. Try to budget your money better. (brown rice is 70 cents a pound. Oats, broccoli. All sorts of stuff healthy and if you shop carefully not as expensive. Also don't eat out. Even fast food or coffee. Saving money is a serious issue. Everything adds up. I know from experience. I have been very hungry before.)

    2. Thrift stores. Go to all sorts of thrift stores and buy gifts. The dollar store. Remember that Christmas has become a time when people who have too much money spoil their kids. Teach that giving is from the heart. Make a Pollyanna. Each person buys one gift for someone in the family.

    My friend Dan (whose family has enough money to buy all sorts of gifts if they wanted,) was the youngest in his family. For Christmas he told me his sister molly baked his name in dough one year. It was from her heart.

    Christmas isn't about showing your love through monetary heights and gifts. Its about giving from your heart. However you choose.

    Pray.

    And remember that God is the source of love and Jesus is his son. Seek first the kingdom and the rest of these things will be given to you.

    If you have a worldly view of showering your kids with gifts you have an ungodly view of giving. Hollywood Christmas has become expected. The Retailers are loving it.

    Have you thought about making gifts? I am sure especially since it is a personal thought. Since you have internet you can perhaps download some ideas on that.

    Another idea is if you have a Dollar Store in your area. You would be surprised at some of the great things you can find!

    Do you have friends or family that can help you out? Perhaps each family member can make something and you can do a sort of secret santa.

    Hope this helps.

    if you are not too proud I would think that someone at one of your local churches would be happy to help with the real gift of Christmas and maybe acouple of presents too. God Bless You and Your Family. I hope they are all healthy
