This is going to be such a tight Christmas for my family we made one gift for each child out of scraps we had here in our home, I sew hubby makes things out of wood. Then we gathered up all the things that are special to them (our children are older and don’t live with us but they are still young late teens 19 and early 20 and 21 ) all the things from their childhood that they love and we have hung on to for them and we placed all of it in a box and sent it to them for their Christmas holiday, we can’t afford to travel to them or help them buy plane tickets to come see us , they will all be going to friends who have invited them for the holidays. This is the best that we could do and we do hope that they understand and feel blessed to be able to have a roof over their heads in these difficult times. Merry Christmas everyone!! We hope that other’s remain blessed enough to have a roof over their heads during the holiday season. (Living out of a car sucks ! and we are both veteran enough to realize that !) Amazing how well your kid will do in college when they know how tough times can get if you can’t earn that top paycheck. Happy Holidays to all!

@Philip, eh, 5 minutes 'till I had to go to work, and no Christmasy-themed demotivators in sight. I'll probably get around to changing it soon. Randalls last blog post..Hard Times Causing Theft of Metal to Soar

How can you leave out the 4th of July, that is still my favorite holiday. I love fire….works too much. Christmas has gotten to the point that gifts really are not that important, it is just a time for travel, maybe we should pick a different week and save alot of money.

btw, I don’t get the inspirational poster… sticks and carrots? You mind explaining that one a bit?

It won’t work on me. We don’t do much to celebrate “consumer Christmas” anyway (in terms of buying stuff), so trying to get me to buy more by buying earlier…nope. Like you, I’ll just end up annoyed with the stores that do this and probably try to avoid them. :-/
