Holidays have always been hard for me. With 54 family members to buy for I have changed to sewing plastic canvas Christmas ornaments and not buying and I also have been known to purchase online instead of shopping. Being a single mom its hard so I do different things each year. One year I didnt buy for my girls but took them after Christmas shopping at the mall so they could buy what they didnt get from others. One year for the family we played dirty santa with a 10.00 gift. One year I went to dollar tree and bought the family a one dollar gift for each person. I got everyone the glove you bathe with and they loved it. So many people experience depression around the holidays. I try to keep it as simple as possible.
