I can add to this & commiserate in the same boat as you G:

* havent done ANY Christmas shopping yet for family

* on a strict strict budget for Christmas, so I am trying to be thrifty & use some of my gift cards I still have left from bridal shower for gifts for DH

*I am up to my eyeballs in owing people $$

*DH's CC# got stolen from a music place & we had to cancel it & are now waiting for a new card b/c some A$$HOLE decided to run up a few hundred bucks w/ our card (& it's the only one we have...so we dont overspend) & bank is taking it's sweet A$$ time getting us our new one.

*DH's father has prostate cancer - he's had it for 10 years now- he went on lupron injections & it seemd to help him go into remission for a while then it came back - then they uysed the radiation seeds - helped for a while, now we found our after the wedding this year that DH's father's PSA count is the highest it's ever been. They put him back on the lupron, & just drew blood on the 18th - we wont know if the lupron helped or not until the 28th - if not, chemo is the next step. DH's mom has been suffering w/ these cluster headahces for about 3 years now - she was generally getting them only in the summertime when it was real hot out. This year for our wedding we were a little worried that she may have an attack w/the heat - but she had gone almost the whole summer w/out an attack at all - now since about Nov she is getting them every day, 2-3 attacks a day & has to be put on oxygen when she has the attacks. Plus we found out last year one of her kideny's has gone into failure & has only one good kidney left that's functioning. DH's parents live in Fla & we've been begging them to come up for Christmas (we were even willing to split the price of the flight w/them - but they are SO DARN STUBBORN that they wont come up b/c it 'costs too much' yet they/his mom cries all the time how she misses us. DH already used his vacation time for our HM & his parents do not understand that we cannot fly down there for the holidays b/c he has to work Christmas Eve night into Christmas Day morning...ARGGGGGGHHHH (I feel like we're the only people who want to have his family over & yet they can't make the concessions to come to us, even though they're the ones who are retired & have all the free time in the world)

Considering what happened between my family & DH on Thanksgiving - this is going to be a very tense Christmas. I had alwasy imagined/pictured things so differently...It's just so frustrating when you have a vision of what things should be/ or how they should be & it's something so totally different,...and unpleasant.

HUGS to you my dear!!!!

ETA: Oh yeah & still looking for a job - & just recently got screwed out of the opportunity of getting one

i can't send you enough huggies!!!

Gina.. You the least person here to be bummed out.. Always soo cheerful and ready to make anyone laugh!!

Everything will work out! Remember to remind everyone you got the black eye for 'playing rough' with DH!! (I knew that will make you laugh ).. I'm sure your first MRS. christmas will be AWESOME!! You sooo deserve it and DH will make something happen for you I'm sure..

Oh I hope you both have a happier Christmas then you think its turning out to be.

I think a lot of us are struggling because its our first newlywed Christmas and we desperately want it to be special.

My Christmas isn't looking so up either. My dad's business is facing bankruptcy in Feb, which has my mom super depressed and she has no interest in Christmas this year which is hard because she usually is my Christmas spirit. My Aunt's sister probably won't make it until Christmas (3rd round of cancer) so most likely we have a wake and funeral in our holiday plans and Christmas Eve dinner with my family is very much in limbo, which doesn't help my mom's lack of spirit either. Plus Lois was like an Aunt to me and my heart is going out to my cousins. Plus everything with FIL and his deteriorating brain condition and DH fighting with his mom to declare his dad incompetent so she can collect his disability, because thats the only way they will give it to her. He gave her an ultimatum that by Christmas she either has to declare him incompetent or stop trying to run his father's business, so thats put a lot of tension in there relationship. So its a tough one this year and very hard to be enthusiastic. Not to mention DH is still in CT and its looking like he won't be home until tomorrow night. Then they want him to go back up sat because they want to make their quota by the end of the year. At least we will be together for Christmas.

But two years ago DH spent Christmas in the hospital eating chinese food while his dad did back to back radiations in an effort to remove the cancer before it did any more damage to his brain, not sure if his father would even survive. So this one is great by comparison.


Oh and I have my puppy!!! And that is making me a bit happier.
