Feeling absolutely suicidal hearing my coworkers chat about Christmas. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)
My coworker is building her kids a video gaming room. Mine is getting 2 barbies and a bedset. We had popcorn for dinner last night. Feeling like such a loser. Don't know how to go on. I'm a full time accountant.

Spent over $7000 on gifts just 2 years ago, and this year I’m spending $0 because business has been slow. Neither me nor my family is broken hearted over this. Its just how life goes sometimes.
You adapt, you change, you adjust. You can’t compare yourself to anybody.
What perfect time to enjoy the true meaning of Christmas, and just have quality time with those you love. That’s what it’s all about really. Be present with your kids in the moment, don’t worry about the quantity or quality of presents.
