Are you unexpectedly unemployed for the Holidays? How are you handling this? Will their be any gift-giving or celebrating? Did you get yourself or anyone?

I am not unexpected unemployed for the Holidays. I have been however unemployed months before the Holidays. And have not got employment to bring some holiday cheers for me and others.
I have some savings though but it already dwindled even before the holidays. Hmmm. Sad but life must go on for me no matter what. And with the holidays around it really brings cheerfulness. No gift-giving for me but I wish I will receive one. Gifts may not be material. It may come in different manners. So there, cheers!

My sister's boyfriend just got fired from his job..About a week ago. Oh boy, is this a stressful time for him! He's looking for a part-time or full-time job now, actively, and is having a hard time finding anything. He's got a little bit of money saved up, but not really enough to be able to buy presents and whatnot for the family. But we forgive him and understand his situation..And we all want to help out in whatever way we can. I'm getting him a grocery store gift certificate, and a lot of people are following suit. Being jobless this time of year has got to feel pretty bad.
