[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 567817, member: 13882"] Do you have Goodwill stores near you? Sometimes, they have totally brand new clothes, really nice ones with the tags still on them, and they are SO inexpensive. difficult child is probably too big for toys, but they have guitars, costume jewelry, books, DVDs, all kinds of things for just a few dollars. I don't think she's too young to have a talk with about Christmas not being all about gifts, either. Christmas is about love and gratitude and someone else's birthday, Know what I mean?! You could start a tradition of baking a cake (nothing expensive...a cake mix is great) and bringing it to the local firehouse to thank them for their service, tie it in to how they have to work on Christmas night and sacrifice time with family...you could also make it a fun night by making popcorn and watching a Christmas themed movie and have hot chocolate, you get the idea. Remind her that Santa knows when we've been bad or good! [/QUOTE]
