[quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. I was the kid in your situation and our lean times lasted for several years. We always got small things we "needed" at Christmas (socks, PJs, toiletries) and 1 gift that we had put on our list. The main gift was never expensive and rarely was the hot toy or whatever that year. I'm sure my mom felt awful about not being able to give us everything we wanted, but we did (inexpensive) things as a family that made it a special time. And looking back, I don't feel that Christmas was lacking in any way. As PPs said, your daughter is old enough to understand what is going on, so talk with her about it. And give some thought about establishing new traditions for the two of you. I also agree with PPs about the bed - I was in a twin bed until after I moved out of the dorms in college. Just upgrade the bedding.[/quote]
