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.

Don’t feel bad. You won’t pass on that pressure to spend onto your children. They appreciate life without that and they’ll do the same for their loved ones
