Christmas Mood......or lack there of...

I have been trying very hard to get into the Christmas mood by helping decorate, making treats, listening to music, etc......but when it come to shopping for gifts, I'm just not feeling it. I can't believe how hard it is to buy gifts for Stew, the kids, and Stew's mom when we are on such a limited budget. Christmas isn't about presents and things like that...... It's about being able to spend time with our loved ones and bringing Christ into Christmas............ but when your child is SO flippin excited about getting presents from Santa and you aren't able to give him very much it just sucks! Ryan doesn't know any different, but Ethan keeps telling me everyday that Santa is going to bring him presents... and we just don't have very much money to do so. Someday I won't have to worry about this, but right now it is really bringing me down.

I am almost looking forward to it being over soon so I don't have to worry about it for another year.
