this coming Christmas me, my husband and my baby just here at home. i didn't know yet if we have a wonderful Christmas this year, i hope that we had a happy moment even if we don't have a money.
just because we spent more money in the last month, how sad that my baby went to hospital and have a sick in the few days, but it's okay with us even we don't have money now.
the important thing is our baby was good now. and he can play in her bed. were happy that we will not spend our christmas in the hospital.

Glad to hear that your baby is healthy now. That is indeed what really counts - a healthy baby. Even if you don't have a lot of money, you can now enjoy a simple but wonderful Christmas with your husband and your baby. Sometimes, a simple Christmas is what is best as they are what you feel in your heart. You can make Christmas meaningful to you and your family, even if you don't have a lot of money.
In my family, we don't exchange gifts with the other grown ups in the family. We only buy Christmas gifts for the children in the family. This makes Christmas less stressful, simpler and a lot more meaningful. Because we can just enjoy each others' company and friendship and that is what makes Christmas special.
I hope, you, your husband and your baby have a very Special Christmas.

Christmas has become so overrated! Just be happy your baby is home with you and healthy. Christmas really kills our pocketbooks and I can't wait for next month to start paying all the bills I could only pay half of. Try to have a Merry Christmas and pray that next year is better for all of us.

It's so good that your baby is healthy and happy now. Now the baby and you too can enjoy Christmas. We really don't need money to enjoy a festival. All we need is satisfaction and enthusiasm to make a festival memorable. I save some money for Christmas though. I'm thinking of buying a new guitar for myself. I'm really taking music seriously these days. Music brings so much to life.

I think your Christmas is off to a good start already. Your baby is better and you and your husband are together and have a place to call home. There are plenty of people with money who have less than you have.
You may have heard the saying 'count your blessings' it is good advice when we feel a little miserable about someting - in this case not having enough money. Your baby is not yet old enough to compare how many toys she has to her friends, she will have a great Christmas just being with a happy mother and father. Make your own fun, count your blessings and enjoy the holiday.

I am happy that your baby is okay now! She is so cute! That's the right thing to do, find the silver lining in spite of bad things. Be thankful to God that you are with your family, with that cute little angel, and I think that's the most important! Have a nice Christmas!

Actually aravocal, you have your blessings already especially
that your baby is alright and was wel enough to come home..God
is good and him being a baby is a blessing so he dosen't know
one day from the other and so be grateful you have your family..
Its not always about all the gift you can give or receive,
blessings don always come in a box or bag...
Have a Happy holiday and continued blessings..
Glad your baby is doing better...With a sick baby you would
not even be thinking about Christmas anyway...
