I was reading the newspaper and something caught my eye that depressed me. A big fat ad that said 27 days until Christmas. Just freaking great. I wished I could postpone it for a few months.
This year is going to be the skimpiest year ever for my girls. Hubby’s little bitty check doesn’t go far. By the time we pay the bills, finish paying for his contacts and all that, it’s pretty much spent. We get $50 each from his parents for Christmas and I get $50 for my birthday. Normally I spend it all on them, but unfortunately I have a Dr’s appointment 2 days before my birthday. So guess where that money is going. Uh huh the Dr.
This is the first year I have not put my tree up on Thanksgiving day. And to be honest with you.. I don’t see it going up any time soon. Heck even if I did, there would only be on present under there and it’s a review that I’m hiding from Shorty.
This is just too depressing.

I know exactly what you are saying. Since I don’t work my boyfriend income is the only one. By the time rent, bills, gas and food is bought for the month we are literally broke sometimes even in the negative. I usually get money from my mom for Christmas and I will be using that to buy gifts. We also had to get an extention on our truck payment in order to get gifts otherwise we would be screwed. So I know exactly what you are going through.
