I'm feeling very negative today. And Christmas - bah humbug.
Actually - I'd love to be enjoying Christmas if I wasn't so worried about bills - let alone Christmas presents.
And what is it with family that doesn't understand? We do a gift exchange every year and way back in July I said - hey - this year we're broke (and that was before my husband was laid off)... and here we are doing the exchange anyway.
It may be about the feelings and not the gift - but it feels crappy to have someone buy you something very nice and then give them a $20 gift card somewhere because that's all you can really afford. (and since nothing they want is actually 20 or less - I figure a gift card at least gets them part of the way there.) Or I coudl just pick up something they don't want or need - like ahot chocolate gift set from Walmart.
Yea - I'm cranky today.
Can I go home now?
