So im a single mama with an 23 mth old and one due soon. Im going to school full time and lost my job awhile back. It seems like everything is so expensive even the little stuff. Its starting to make me really hate christmas.

I'm sorry. Take this or leave this, but helped me when I despaired at Christmas years ago. I made a birthday cake for Jesus and thanked him for the good in my life. I had just gotten married, but I lived on Army base three states away from him. I had just been diagnosed w broken neck and would go on to have 2 surgeries to fix it and I was ordered by my command to have surgery and then be sent to Iraq to recover with them despite Dr saying I couldn't travel for 6 weeks minimum. It was the worse part of my life except our infertility issues. I tried to remember what Christmas was about and it helped me. I made brownies on top of that and watched old Christmas movies. Maybe try some fun art w your 2yr old, like decorate your belly like ab ornament and make the picture of the "3" of you into an ornament and give those to family as present? Try not to be sad, hang in there.
