Seasons' Greetings:\n\nI don't know what area you are from but my family is living in BC Canada  and local recreation  centres, libraries and other family facilities have events to do for kids to enjoy and get the spirit from Christmas.(NO CHARGE)  I know it doesn't need to be a lot just enough to let the children  remember cherish  moments they can take to their adult hood.  Look into any Community Centre and see what they have going on.  We just had a free Children's singer come into a mall and sing "Charlotte Diamond" the kids love her and it was absolutely free.  Good Luck and Much Love for a wonderful Holiday Season.

My brother's birthday is day after christmas and every year he got short-changed. Aunties, etc. wold say "Oh, junior, we got you a bigger present because it is for both Christmas and your birthday". a kid doesn't think that's very cool. A kid - and an adult -doesn't care if you spent $5. or $25. so long as the gift is cool. Once we became adults I made a special point of always giving my brother a separate birthday gift - and NEVER used Christmas wrapping!! (like some people did). If you ditch Christmas, you are still short-changing her, dummy-cakes. You do the whole Christmas thing as usual but maybe you buy a very personal gift , set your alarm clock for 12:01 December 25th, wake her up with a kiss and a glass of champagne and say "Happy Birthday, darling, sweetie, lambie-pie,cuddles. This moment is just for you because I love you!" Trust me, all day Christmas she'll be bragging to all her friends and relatives about the most romantic, thoughtful guy in the world - YOU!\n**Just read your add-on, and i still urge you both not to "ditch" Christmas. Been there,done that - and for the same reasons you gave. It was a disaster. Two of us in Vegas, both missing the meaning and feelings of Christmas. Start your own new traditions - things you can later share with your children from the extended families because some years you will have the kids. Buy an artificial tree, one that is exquisite, one that you can now afford because you aren't feeding a horde of people for dinner. Plan future decorating and start with this year's purchase, in following years, include those kids. You need to show the children that Christmas is important and that you are celebrating so that they want to be with you on alternate years. Whether you are feeling like a "family" this year or not, you really ARE a family, just missing a few members on this one occasion. The earlier suggestion would still hold true, but then please have a wonderful Christmas as well! You can always have a birthday cake for dessert.

Sit your 15 year old butt down and write a really nice card to them telling them how much you appreciate them and thanking them for all they do for you.  Make a list of all the things you are thankful to them for.  That will mean more to them than anything.

Go to "Dollar Central" and pick up a nice (cheap) box of Christmas cards. Go to your local lottery retailer and buy scratch & win tickets for each of your friends and perhaps blow a whole $ 10.00 on the crummy in-laws.\n\nWrite some nice warm & fuzzy stuff in the cards and wish them luck with the tickets & the new year!\n\nMerry Christmas! And may 2007 be brighter!

Give the gift of yourself!  Make coupons redeemable to babysit, clean, shop, shovel snow, etc.  Decorate them nicely.  Relatives will love them.  \nBake cookies for gifts to friends.  \nMerry Christmas.  Love is the best gift of all.

There are organizations such as Santas' Anonymous and the Christmas Bureau.  You can usually find application forms at food banks and social assistance offices.  There might also be some church organizations in your area to talk to.  Hope you have a great Christmas.  Remember that it is not all about the gifts', the greatest gift you can give them is your love.  They will remember that longer than any material things.

Since you have so many places to be and so many people to see, I suggest you guys use the whole week before xmas to celebrate. I would spend a couple of days with his father and wife and then a couple of days with his mother and her husband and then spend a couple of days with your parents. But make sure you are back at your home for Christmas day to celebrate each other. What a great way to spread holiday cheer and make everyone happy. This way no one can be mad about who you spending Christmas day with, since it will be with each other at home. I realize this is alot of running around but thats what the holidays are all about, the hustle and bustle. However, I would get married and a bigger place so you can have everyone over at your house and let them do the traveling.....Merry Christmas and Good Luck!!

Have you looked into Thrift Shops? They can have some neat toys and some good as new. \nAlso you can make items for them or together. Use things in nature like leaves, pinecones, sticks etc. Books at your local library will give you plenty of ideas. Check one out.\n\nYou can go caroling, make cookies, get them involved in helping others like visit a nursing home or senior center. Another cool idea is to make a big Christmas Basket (decorated). As a gift to your kids let them pick a card out of the basket each week for two months (something like that). Put index cards in the basket (decorated with santa, reindeer, candy canes or ?) with an inscription or wish. \nExamples:\nI will take you to the Park for Two Hours\nBake cookies together, you choice of type\nI will play football with you for an afternoon\nI will take you fishing and teach you how (wow)\nWe will go on a 3 hour hike\nWe will go to a local animal park to see the animals\nWe will build sandcastles together at the beach\nWe will go to the local swimming pool to swim\n\nYou can find literally hundreds of things you can do that your kids will enjoy for low cost or no cost. They will LOVE this. Make it fun. Anytime a kid get to spend quality time with a parent they love it more than any toy. This really works, just please try it. But remember to follow through, dont ever not do what they pick. Maybe pick Sunday as they day of the week they pick the adventure.\n\nAlso you can see if the local newspaper will run an ad for you that your kids are not getting Christmas this year. They love humanitarian stories and may feature your family. You can also talk to churches (they have toys and food) or local non-profits like the Family Resource Centers, Boys and Girls Club or get your kids put on an Angel Tree ( people pull the names and buy them a gift, but make sure it is a resonable toy). Womens Centers may help also. Many churches and non-profits have parties for less fortunate kids, I know I used to buy 100 gifts each year and help throw the party. Help is out there start searching.\n\nAll kids deserve CHRISTMAS. Good Luck

What u can do is find a store that sells really cheap things like Big Lots or u can ask a friend if they have old Christmas stuff that's in good condition if u can have it. As for decorating you house, I would say on the outside, try decorating a couple of trees with lights, put a santa in a sled with reign deer in the front, and if u want to go crazy, u should put a snow man or the santa stuff on your roof. Also try putting a couple of snow men in your fron lawn.

Find out what she likes that would involve personal time.  Stuff is just stuff, but memories are much more valuable.  Does she like concerts, plays, or other special events?  If so, get tickets, and make a day of it.  You can "story-board" this upcoming day in a creative way (like on a poster board that depicts the various events or has paraphernalia pasted to it), and then wrap it up.  You have to wrap it . . . it's much more fun to unwrap something at Christmas, even if it's a promise for February.  At any rate, be personal, invest yourself, and she'll love it.

Pick one. \n\nLook at your local shelters. Battered women's programs. Salvation Army. Check with your Church. Be creative.\n\nI put on Santa costume and deliver presents to children in hospitals on Christmas eve. There are endless ways you can make a contribution at Christmas time.  \n\nMy question is: what about the other 364 days?
