[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd try to get a tree and decorations, bake cookies, play Christmas music. If you have cable find the Christmas music channel. Watch Christmas movies on tv. Sign up for Toys for Tots, so your children get toys. Make a nice dinner. Read the Christmas story to your children from the Bible, so they know what Christmas is really about. Go to church. Make it a yearly ritual.[/quote]

“Hey kids! We have to cut back on Christmas…but, good news! We are going to replace it with bible reading and sitting in church!” Maybe OP could also give the kids hair shirts instead of Christmas PJs?

OP—research all the free/low cost outings available in your area. Then make a calendar of the last 2-3 weeks of December and add in all the appealing activities you find. Then fill up the other days with things like family game night, baking cookies, various Christmas movies to watch, Christmas crafts, etc. You have time, so make Christmas about togetherness instead of gifts.
