Sad everytime Christmas is coming

Oh jamed28, you are such a sweet father. I know how parents always think of there children before they think about themselves, and Christmas is really for the children. I pray that you and your family enjoy the best Christmas of your life this winter. Remember one thing,its not money that makes an event special but the emotions. If you keep thinking like that you might get depressed and then Christmas won't be a happy event for you and family. So cheer up you have to do a lot for this winter

I understand. We too have 4 kids. My husband lost his job when I was 7 months pregnant with number 4. It took 4 months but he found a job, so there is hope. Christmas is about family not gifts and this will be a good chance to teach that. When young we did not do purchased gifts, we didn't have the money. We did make gifts of all sorts. Santa did bring toys from stores but not many, he also brought clothes. I now do surveys and this when I can, this is my Holiday fund. Good luck and remember hope is there it will get better even when it is rough.

Hi Jamed as much as it doesn't relate to the exact same feeling I think I can empathize I quit my job recently "personal reasons" now I feel more of a need to save every dollar I can even with Christmas coming up I realize that I am not going to be able to give as many gifts for my friends and family as I used to however... Its important to note that Christmas is not always about gifts but more about closeness with family and the time you will have together for years to come yes while material items and new toys will bring hours of entertainment it can never be replaced by family that is what matters the most

Hello jamed! My sympathy, because of your present situation. But don't ever loose hope. Count the things within you that money can't buy. You have your family, you are alive, you have no illness and you have all the reason for you to be employed once more or if you like, you may enter a business of your own. There's no permanent thing in this world, except change of course. Just believe that when God closes a door, He would definitely open windows for you just never give up and keep the faith within you always. Merry Christmas too!

Firstly my sympathies on the loss of your job. But you can still have a good Christmas, Christmas does not have to be about a lot of expensive presents - in fact in my opinion the people who have less seem to enjoy it more! You will be able to spend time with your children and hopefully enjoy the festivities of Christmas without spending a fortune. Have you or your wife any skills that mean you could make some gifts? Look out for cheap little things in the shops and start getting them slowly as you can, children are happy with anything to happen. I do hope things pick up for you soon and that you do manage to have a really Happy Christmas
