[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The older kids are old enough to have talks about money. Just be honest with them.[/quote] This. My mom was hospitalized when I was 10 and couldn’t work for a while. She made about 50% of our families income. They told us that Christmas would be very light. She did get us a few things but they were from thrift shops. Now there is temu and amazon. See if you can sign up with your kids’ school for gifts. Anyway, I remember that being one of the best christmases I ever had as a kid. My mom really thought about what we might like and we did baking and games and spent time together as a family. Make hot chocolate and ride around and look at lights. If you can afford it, do one of the drive through light displays. Go see that street in Baltimore. Watch Christmas movies together. Make memories together. That’s what it’s about, not stuff. I promise they won’t be scarred OP. Hope next year is better for you. [/quote]
