[quote=Anonymous]OP, my mom was super into Christmas when I was a kid. She would save up and watch sales and we would have lots of presents. Many of them were things we needed-new coats, boots, pajamas, etc.-but there was always lots for us to open. Her excitement was infectious and we all got into it too. Except for a couple of Christmases when there was job loss or financial stress in the family. We were very much middle class, probably on the lower end. I remember my mom sitting my sister and I down and telling us that money was tight and that Christmas was going to be very small to nonexistent. Neither of us was sad and we completely understood. Honestly, I think it was harder on my mom to tell us that than it was for us to hear it. [/quote]
