we had decided earlier that we would not do anything for each other. I am really ok with that but he can't get past the idea that he did not get me anything. What can I do to make sure he knows that it is ok?

I think it's great. My wife and I couldn't afford to buy each other anything this year either so we exchanged "catalogs"
We set up a budget and went thourgh ad's and stores taking pictures (by the way, not a good idea) then we printed the pics and made little books and exchanged them.
"If I could this is what you would have gotten, then as the year goes on you go through your partners catalog and cross out the stuff you buy for each other through out the year. (Make b-day, and aniversary shopping easy too) It's a cute little game for couple with not much money.

I have an idea. See what you think of this. Hold your own little Christmas on January 25. If you're still strapped for money in a month then pick another date or keep the gifts small and inexpensive. Make it a real celebration for just the two of you. A special dinner with a nice wine. Dress for the occasion. Make it a tradition even. Merry Christmas!!!

all of us understand that Christmas isn't assume to be with reference to the delivers yet we could face it - an excellent part of that's. considering this 12 months you could no longer substitute with the toddlers you will in basic terms could be very innovative to make the day specific. Play Christmas music all day. Why no longer bake some cookies and enable the toddlers decorate them - all people draw a acceptance from a hat and that they decorate a undeniable cookie for that person? Thread popcorn and cranberries and decorate the domicile windows with the strands. Write an extremely little be conscious to all people of your toddlers and roll it up and stick it in a balloon (dollar shop stuff) and enable the toddlers pop the balloon to study it. do no longer strengthen the lack of ability of delivers and if/while the toddlers carry it up remind them that this 12 months you may pull mutually as a relatives and next 12 months wil be greater useful. even once you're in basic terms having Kraft Dinner instead of a turkey dinner - tell all people to dress up, make it specific- watch Christmas video clips, sing carols. are you able to bypass to a foodstuff financial corporation? they'd have counsel approximately the place you could %. up toys that are donated? I donate new toys this time of 12 months and that i ask your self the place they bypass - i wish its to a meriting relatives like yours. If the nice and cozy button is there are not going to be any delivers then do however you could to cause them to sense specific so its no longer in basic terms the different day. all of the main suitable and that i wish i ought to think of of greater issues....

It's the simple things that really stand out... Sit down away from the kids and him and write him a very detailed letter. Tell him exactly how you feel in it and also let him know that it's okay that he didn't get you anything and that you love him regardless...

It is very nice he wants to do something special with you. I think you should be gracious and the two of you should make a compromise.
Why don't the two of you go out on a date - movie and dinner as his special present to you? Do something you can enjoy together, just you two.

Tell him that you are truly ok, and that you want his and your kids to come first, and if he really feels that badly about it tell him to make Valentines Day extra, extra special. Then tell him you are ok with that because it gives you something to look forward to, and it allows him to be creative with a surprise. Good luck.

Maybe set up the bedroom one night w/ candles everywhere and show him. Not trying to be dirty by any means. But by doing this you will be giving a gift to the both of you.
