I have been dreading Christmas this year for a few reasons. I always feel really depressed around the holidays. Money is tight and I won’t be able to get my son the things he has asked for. He never asks for anything, but this year he is finally beginning to understand Christmas the way that his peers do. I feel extremely guilty, but I refuse to get into debt for one day. I’ve shopped around and bought him some alternative things that I think he will like just as much. However, there are people worse off than we are out there, and just thinking about that makes me so sad. We are lucky that we can afford some things, others can’t and have to rely on the kindness of strangers. I dread when the kids get older and it becomes a competition to have the best things/things they want are more expensive. Kids can be cruel (I have personal experience with this and was bullied horrendously as a child for not having the latest). Of course, Hinch won’t ever have that issue with Ronnie. She’ll just have to click her fingers or say the word, all without spending a penny of her mounting fortune.
