Anyone on a low budget X-mas this year?

Don't have many folks left to celebrate Christmas with. Major family losses this year.

We do every Christmas low budget. There's really no sense in paying for Christmas until June. I make alot of the gifts we give. We focus instead on the serenity and love of the season. Buying outrageous gifts for someone doesn't equate with loving them.

low budget? you mean no budget. Hubby lost his unemployment and I had hours cut to 20 a week. Just applied to welfare for the boys medical. I guess it could be worse? We are warm and decent health.

My family is pretty much on a no-to-low budget..

We've all been collecting Christmas gifts for each other over the past 3 or 4 months.. but it's little cheap things. Nothing expensive.

I feel bad for my little sister. She's only 7 and doesn't understand, so we all make sure she gets the most stuff, even if it's cheap dollar store toys.
