I have no money for my kids christmas, what do i do, with only 2 weeks left?

I don't get it. You taught them the meaning of Christmas but still want to load them with presents? You have a computer and internet. Money is coming from somewhere. You could try the Salvation Army, but you're very late... it's only ONE week left. .

Suggest you contact the Salvation Army if you have one or any of The Churches in your area. Most will help or direct you to help, good luck.

Absolutely contact a church. Try more than one. I am sure you will get help from this source. Good luck and God bless you. Merry Christmas to you and your children.

I am not intending to alarm you, but Christmas is a week from today! Here are some suggestions- and, they are only suggestions. 1) Salvation Army 2) Good Neighbors 3) United Way 4) Your local church 5) St. Vincent dePaul 6) Catholic Charities Many of these agencies have lists of families. Volunteers distribute food and gifts. They (the agencies) usually ask for names early on in the season so they can make plans. My advice is to call as soon as you can. Waiting so long will make it harder to get something for your kids. Good luck.

You make the best of a bad situation and use whta you have on hand. maybe you have a cute little necklace in your jewelry box that you could give your older daughter and you could make them each something special in the kitchen. Take a few dollars and go to the Salvation Army and get used gifts. There are some pretty nice things at Good Will and places like that these days. And honey, if you are that broke, check into some assistance. Food Stamps could go a long way to making this a little merrier season for you. And next year, try to save up a little as the commericalism will only make your kids want MORE MORE MORE. good luck!

one year i gave my time to them (i have 3 children). i wrote a little guideline explaining what i would do and gave examples. i promised them i would give each of them 5 or 10 minutes of my time each nite w/o any interruptions. then we would take turns each nite and spend 20 or 30 minutes with one child. the youngest rec'd the first nite, the middle child rec'd the next nite and the oldest rec'd the third nite. this rotation continued twice a week and then i'd get the last nite to myself or as a family. when it was their turn for 100% of my attention, they got to choose what we did. read a book, play a game, talk, rock, swing, walk, ride bikes, etc. one weekend a month we could go do something that cost money (movie, bowling, mini-golf, etc.) granted, it didn't last the whole year like i wanted to, but it did last a few months. at first they were leary, but then they really started looking forward to 'their' nite. (by the way. i typed the cards up and put them in little card holders or baskets with pens and note cards for them to use later on. i saved this 'present' for last and explained it after they opened it. they wanted to start it that nite!) good luck!

Hello! I hope my answer will be a good present for you...Christmas is all about the persons we love. I admire your courage to ask us this question, but I also know that this thing is killing you inside. My ideas for you having what to give your children for Christmas are...have you ever thought about doing something by yourself? it is very simple. Start with "dressing up" the house with old candles, tree decorations, soft and colourfull fabrics or scarfs, as if it would look like a dream of yours when you were a child. You can also give as gifts hand made presents, dolls made of old clothes, you can invent a new game. Anyway, it is not about what you give, it is about what you share. Best wishes...

I would contact Toy for tots and/or a few local churches. Toys for tots usually puts together a package based on your childs age and gender and you can pick it up at a local designated area. Here is the link to their website: http://www.toysfortots.org/ Good luck!

the best you can....what was your intention for christmas?....you didnt say...did you intend not to give them anything or did you intend to but cant afford it?...did you get them a little something but not near what you would be satisfied with?.. if you have absolutely nothing and you wanted to, then seek the help of relatives or your local church or salvation army....if you have a little something, and since they are young enough, make it last as long as possible on christmas day, with the promise in your own heart to make it up to them very soon and follow up on that promise....what exactly are you teaching them now?...you said something about new age christmas...what does that mean to you?...unfortunatley with kids you cant say one thing then expect to change the rules mid-stride...they will not understand...btw i know how you feel about being short funded this season...i am in the same boat...
