So being that Christmas Eve is tomorrow I just have to say this is currently the ****tiest holiday I have had yet!! I'm flat broke, not ready for Christmas by any means, my car broke down and I dont know how I am going to fix that, and then tonight I am told (by family no less) that I need to start looking for a new place to live!!!

Is anyone else having a ****ty Christmas??

I truthfully dont even want to deal with tomorrow. I didnt get enough money on my last check to cover bills and Christmas so thats going to suck! I dont want to be around the family because they just suck right now!

Well sweetie, I was laid off a month ago and then put in ER, will need to size down stat for my house & my kids aren't getting what they usually get.

But we have to remember Christmas isn't about the material side .. it's about the birth of Christ. So even if we have nothing to give, we've been given it all already yanno?

I think we are so conditioned to think we have to have stuff or give stuff to enjoy the holiday because our society thinks that way, but the joy is in the celebrating of His birth.

I do hope it works out for you and your family - relationships are everything during the holidays.

(( hugs )) for happier times for you

I feel for you and understand have had a rough year myself. Starting with wrecking my car then the main gear shift cable breaking less then a month after having to put out the $500 deductible which cost me another couple hundred. Then my son lost his job and has had to move back in. But........even so I still feel myself lucky for I do have more them some I know. Even though my job is on the line and the company is threaten to close down due to lack of jobs.

Regardless we must live one day at a time and do the best we can and never give up.

Not sure if you have kids to support or if it is just you. There is help out there use it to get on your feet then when you are stable and no longer need it you can no longer use it. Church's in your area would be more then glad to help you find a place to live or see if you qualify for section 8 in housing. Put a add on Craigslist you would be surprised who might help you fix your car for a small price.

In the past told someone to contact the any Church to help them they did and in fact they were single the Church helped them pay their utility's and someone from the Church actually helped and fixed her car at no charge she just had to buy the parts and think the Church helped her with that even.

At the time she had no job and needed meds for being Bi-Polar I was able to help her find a clinic for her to get the meds she needed on a sliding scale basis on pay. And directed her to a nursing home that needed help. In fact she is still struggling each year but is doing 100% better then she was. This was a lady when the very first time I talked to her was planning on committing suicide I'm proud to say after 5 years later she still sends me e-mails to let me know life is good after all. Even though I have never meet this woman I found out information that I could over the internet for her to check out then it was up to her to follow through. I'm just glad that night I just happen to be online in the same place she was when she felt life had let her down and was able to get through to her in the process.

There is always a way if you never give up sometimes we don't want to ask for help but must in order to make it. It never hurts to ask and only take what you need.

I do hope maybe you will think about the suggestions I have made and you will see things will get better but we must not ever give up ourselves.

Just never give up life may not always be roses but........if you look around someone else is worse off then we are. It will get better just never give up.
