I totally understand where you're coming from. I'm a single income woman, my husband has been unemployed and isn't receiving any more unemployment. I feel so bad giving baked goods every single year, but that's all I can afford. And you know, if you have friends and family that understand, just having you there for the holiday season is a gift enough. 
Things will look up. I'm confident they will.

"How can I feel abandoned, even when the world surrounds me;
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me;
How can I know so many; never really knowing anyone;
If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood."
