christmas is the same time every year, you should have been prepared

If your need is genuine, contact charities and churches, which often have special programs for making Christmas joyful for families in dire straits.

And I suggest that until you can support your family without government or charitable help, stop having babies.

I was going to say that. Glad I didn’t have to =).

I’m sorry that you are going through this tough financial crisis. Can any family members help you out? Maybe try contacting like Toys for Tots and see if they can provide anything for your family.
The most important thing this holiday is that you and your family stay warm and healthy. If you can’t afford a lavish Christmas, that’s okay. But there are ways to bring Christmas without breaking your bank.
Some toy stores are offering really inexpensive toys like Barbie dolls.
Even if you limit Christmas to 2 gifts each, that’s good!
When I was younger, I got handmade clothes and hand-me-downs. I’m still alive today!

Go to your human services and they have programs there to help give you good christmas…

This site is for advice so heres a little bit. What I’m wondering is where is the child support for the kids. Do they all have the same dad or a different one for each? Either way you should be receiving support for them and if I’m not mistaken your probably in the system and getting assistance. Now is the time to stop popping kids out like a pez dispenser and take responsibility for your actions. Get a job and set and example for your kids and just because you can have kids don’t mean that you should. Go to your local command labor and get some temp work and with that money buy the kids something for Christmas. You have 5 weeks to get this done so now its up to you. Hope this helps :-)
