Your town should also have some other charity type organizations or special things such as Christmas baskets for food so that you could have a Christmas dinner or find out if a church has a dinner during this time. I know many churches do and most of the dinners are open to everyone.
There are resources out there that can help you at least a little just look for them you may even be able to find ads about them on a bulletin board at your grocery store.
I wish you all the best and I hope that your family has a special Christmas together.

I know how hard it can be. I am a stay at home mum to five. We moved out of our house into our mother in laws as she was ill and our 18 yr old niece lives here too. Money is super tight and Christmas is going to be dismal this year. Why don't you try a charity type of foundation. Where I live we have the Salvation Army and Lifeline. The Salvos give out food and clothes and toys to children and Lifeline give out clothes. They can be of use to your and your family in their time of need. Remember to be positive and that things will work out in the end and although Christmas is a time of giving the most important thing yo can teach your kids is that you will all be together and you have your health and each other. That is the most important thing. My kids know they wont get what they wanted this year but I will try to get them a little something each. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God bless. :)

OMG i might so tell that guy or woman off. First, it somewhat is none of their damned company the style you develop your baby and what your ideals are. 2nd, there is not any longer something incorrect with a baby believing in Santa, etc. the basis being that it fuels their imaginations and that they ultimately grow to be sufficiently previous to confirm it somewhat is basically a impressive delusion. How rather impolite that they stepped on your feet in that way and entirely dissatisfied your baby and you. meanwhile you're able to mitigate the wear somewhat via speaking approximately Christmas and Santa on your baby only as though no longer something occurred and notice in case you could sway them returned into believing for a mutually as longer. i'm very sorry this had to ensue to you and your baby and the guy who did it somewhat is evil and stupid !!!

there are lots of places that can help you; career centers have great resources for unemployed, go online, ask friends and family if they know of openings where they work. During the holidays is a bad time to look for a job, but you can take anything to tide you over, even at a burger place for a while.

Your kids are small and Christmas for them will be as happy as you make it. Check with agencies in your home town, nobody wants a child to go without, especially at Christmas.
Then do what you can and be thankful for the things you do have.
