I can't afford the holiday. I'm dreading the two weeks off from school because I'm pretty sure I wont see anyone during that time and have no money to do anything.

I'm the least financially secure person in my family, AND apparently the only one still not over a traumatizing X-mas from over ten years ago. I usually am uneasy around this time. I hate xmas commercials, especially when they are before Dec. 5th but I usually put on a good face for my family.

This time of year is the worst for me.....everything that has been bad in my life has happened between now & the end of January.....but I don't look at Christmas that way. I hold the celebration of the true meaning of Christmas & celebrate the only reason for the holiday in the first place. It isn't about giving presents or getting anything even though that is a nice aspect of the holiday if you can afford it. My gift if at all are baked goodies & beaded jewelry that I make a little here & there.....but my celebration starts with Advent & focusing on the preparation spiritually for Christmas along with the celebration of walking through that time even after the actual Christmas day celebration.
I find that when my focus in only on that & none of the other non spiritual aspects of Christmas, it makes the Bah humbug go completely away. Heaven knows, I have enough going on for Scruge to overflow this year & all the years past......but he has no place in my Christmas celebration. Hope you can find your true meaning of Christmas to fill your hearts too, Debbie

Usually I'm pretty bah humbug but I'm feeling fairly neutral. Christmas Day is usually tough though-when I was a kid my elderly neighbors (Mommom and Poppop) used to come over to celebrate Christmas morning with my family as they didn't have grandkids but now they are both gone that magic is gone.
