I feel so bad tonight. This will be the very first time that I've not gotten my kids anything for Christmas... not even some candies or nuts or fruits from "Santa" for their stockings. I know they're technically all young men now and not little children, and that they don't really need to get something from Santa, but I wish I could've gotten them at least some little thing that I could've wrapped and surprised them with. And the really sad part is, I think they're kind of half-expecting there to be something for them in the morning, stocking-wise, because they know how I have always been about the holidays... but at the same time, sadly, I think they also know in their hearts that there won't be.
This is going to be the bleakest holiday my sons and I have ever had. I truly hope that by next year, things will at least be a little better for us. I feel like such a failure, for so many reason, and to so many people. I know things could be worse, that someone out there is hurting even more than we are, but when you're so consumed by fear and worry, anger and feelings of helplessness, it's hard to imagine how. No one that knows me, not even those I've shared some of my deepest, darkest secrets with, knows just how bad things are for us. I'm really scared, and I have no idea what I'm going to do to take care of the things that I HAVE to take care of. I had some decent hopes for the new year, until earlier this month, when yet another financial hardship befell us. I'm trying to hold on to whatever positives I can find, but their light seems to be getting dimmer by the minute. If nothing else, I still have my boys, and that is the most important thing in the world to me. And, heaven help 'em, they've still got me, for what that's worth. A miracle, even just a small one, would be greatly appreciated right about now.

Having family and having each other means more than anything in the whole world. I truly believe that.
*sends my hope, love and prayers to you and yours*
My dear precious Cara..
No I don't know how bad things have gotten, and I think its one of those time's where in this situation you still made the better out of your bleak holiday. You are a very good friend, and a good MOTHER, and one of the most devious friends I have on here. You were the first lady I have met IRL from this site, and have been true to you. I like how I rubbed off on you :P
*hugs*
it has been a difficult year for many of us.
You do have each other, and hopefully everyone is healthy and well in your household. That is very important.
Things will look up soon. I know they will. :)
Cara,
My thoughts are truly with you this holiday...I myself do not like this time of the year because so many have forgotten the meaning christmas and have replaced it with commercialism...
You asked for a miracle even a small one...all you have to do is look at your boys and you will see two...I know these are just words from someone you hardly know and I am not ever going to pretend to understand what other ppl are going through...And I understand that you want to give your boys the world...that along with everything that you have given others here on VR says a lot about you as a person...Hang in there...and know that your surrogate family appreciates and loves you very much...

That's ok, the value of coal is going up every day.
Thank you for the kind and complimentary words, dear coven brother. :)
And as for you, Birra... don't make me come over there and light your stocking on fire! lol

Cajome,
Though it feels terrible...I too am in a situation where there's no tree...no family and we're all so poor we cant even pay attention. Christmas is a holiday we share with family AND friends. It doesnt matter if there is no candy, or nuts or stockings...having a wonerful parent (such as you) that cares, means more than any sugar flavored, nutty goodness or goody filled stockings. Its not in what you give in material...its what you give to the people you love EVERY day/night you are with them...Love is what this holiday is about...cherish being together....not wrapping paper and ribbons! lol
Love ya CAJOME! Always! Merry Christmas!
*huggggs my friend hard*
