I wish to get a job before Feb. I’ve gone on so many interview.. almost homeless, with two kids. And nothing under the tree this year. I’ll go out tomorrow and see if I can find something at the dollar store. God give me strength.

In reading the above comments, I read everything from asking for help to great ideas. This Christmas there will be no gifts under the tree for our daughters. My husband is terminally ill and I can not work because I have my own disability and I am his caregiver (for which i get no help). However, no I am not asking for anything from anyone. I ask but one thing and that is from God and that is to let me have another day with my husband of over 30 yrs. We have a home tho small, we have food, tho not the fanciest of meals, we have 2 healthy girls who are our joy. My gifts, I have given to our girls as well to my husband is ongoing..my love my loyality my strength and my courage to take on another day with a happy heart with love for each of them. Be it meds for my husband or a hug as my girls head out the door, they all have my time, each pill handed, each embrace is theirs given without hesitation and with all the love I hold. This year the girls know we have no money for material gifts really. No “Santa” will come to our door, but they know come Christmas morning, a hot breakfast will be waiting for them with parents who love them beyond reason. My girls are 20 and 21 and live at home. They work part time jobs to pay for their needs so they don’t come to us knowing we have no money to give even for something as simple as a soda. When I spoke to them the other day on Christmas, the following day they spoke to me.. these words I heard from our girls..”Mom, we got it covered for Christmas. Dad wants presents under the tree, he will have them. (As a recent doc visit, we do not know how long we will have him.) Don’t expect nothing fancy and probably dollar store items, but there will be presents for Dad to see come Christmas morning.” Hearing this made my heart grow 100 times over. They did not think of themselves, not friends, not extended family, but of their father’s wish for presents under a tree. It was my gift from them to know we have raised them to care for others in a loving way and to be unselfish and to give of themselves without being asked and especially to understand what family means. So that will be my Christmas present, when I see my husband’s (their Dad’s) eyes light up as he wakes up to presents under a tree then learning it was his children who placed them there because they care and they love him so. I wish everyone a loving and safe Christmas this year. Give of yourself and of your heart, a smile to a child or a hand shake to a stranger. Say hello to an unknown person as they walk pass you, say thank you to the person giving you customer service. Help the mom who has her hands full with kids at a store as well as a bag of groceries as she is trying to open the door to head out. Stop to allow an elder person go before you. Simply be kind to another and all else will follow.

I ran into a lady that was making all her co-workers a “sewing kit in a jar” to
keep in their desk drawer. She glued a pin cushion on top of a baby food jar and inside put needles, basic thread colors, safety pins, etc. Nice easy gift to make and share, also very inexpensive.

If you are worrying where to get money for Christmas, then you must stop worrying now. Check out some stuff in your place and see if it can still sold in ebay or in a garage sale. There are many ways that you can try.
Or if you want to earn more money, then look for part time jobs online. Online is the best working place now.

I just found out from my wife that we are running short on money and can’t buy one thing for Christmas. When I thought it might look good it turned out we had enough for bills. Cold winter on the way and myself out of work with know prospects of a good job in site. I know it should be about other things but I fell so depressed. We try and never get a break and all we want is just a little one. How bad is it going to get? With the US the way it is I feel like we should have been the US of A and that is all. We didn’t need to stick our nose in others business and if they wanted help, others would have seen it as well. We should have been a nation with in a nation supporting ourselves and not seeing our jobs go over seas. I am sorry if this is so negative but lets face it. You srill don’t feel better when you don’t know from week to week where you are going to be at night.

I’m ashamed as I sit here reading your blogs and hearing the cries of your heart. You see, all week I have been saddened in my heart because I am alone and have no money for Christmas. All I can do is sit here with the memories of Christmas’ past and cry. My daughter is grown and has her own family now and I have been praying for God to help me to feeling the true meaning of Christmas without money.
In the past I have had big Christmas and small. One year we even gave gifts from our own stuff and I remember that year as one of the warmest.
I know it’s hard when you have children. There were several of those when I was a single mom for many years and I would just weep but they always turned out nice because we were together.
There are a lot of resources out in your community and call your local church.
You can do things with them like go light searching and a local Christmas show.

Remember that it’s the celebration of the birth of Jesus which we can celelbrate every day. May God bless you all.

Alot of cities have the Salvation Army Angel Tree program…see if you can sign up to be recipients for your children of one of these programs. People take an ‘Angel’ tag off a tree that is placed in malls, doctor offices and other public places, and buy the specific gifts on them for the kids in need that year. Then the parents get to go to a designated location to pick out the donated gifts for their children for Christmas. I think it’s a wonderful program…call your local Salvation Army or Social Services offices for more info.
