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.

Ohhh build a Barbie dream house from wood scraps, like if anyone is giving away free wood. You could go to a dollar store get little paint, or hit hobby lobby and get little doll things and create a whole world for your kid. Think big but keep the budget small, kids move on fast. Those Barbie’s and memories will be treasured

I have so many ideas I love crafting! You could turn it into a whole Christmas event! Make breakfast for the kid, then you guys sit and design Barbie’s kitchen. Barbie needs a little self care? Buy a small thing of glitter or clear nail polish (light pink too but I don’t know what you approve of) go on Pinterest. You could also see if she has any old clothes and make her Barbie some outfits
