Christmas In NY

I was really hoping to be one of the ones offering gifts and contests this year but its once again a struggle. We've had multiple deaths in the family, missed time from work. Its neverending. Once we start to catch up something happens and we fall behind again. I have 4 kids, ages 17, 14, 10 and 6. Plus my fiance, myself and 2 fur babies. We both work but receive no extra assistance so we just manage to scrape by. Christmas looks grim. Our money goes to groceries and bills, it's like theres never extra for more than that. I don't even want to put up my tree. I think the older 2 sense my stress but they don't let on if they do. I just want them to have a decent holiday, nothing extraordinary. Just a few presents and family will make me happy :) you guys have always been awesome and I'm so grateful this community is here. You help so many and give us hope, ty 💜

Here's a little about the kids and their wish lists:

M-is 17, he likes video gaming, football, paintball, the usual teenage boy stuff. He's a good kid, good grades and doesn't get into trouble. He has my sense of humor and witty response to things. I call him my twin https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/JVP5N8SL9T28

B-is 6, she's the baby of the family. She loves Frozen, anything Elsa, Paw Patrol, Trolls, Minnie Mouse. She's amazing artist and draws/colors/paints up a storm every day. She's extremely funny and sassy but doing great her first year in school. https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1HFQ5H3NUCOCF

J-is 10, she's my middle girl. She's the sweetest child I've ever known. Her heart is huge. She's had some issues with bullying the past 2 yrs. It's hard to get her to speak up when it happens, she prefers hiding in the bathroom crying. She refuses to get anyone in trouble simply because that's how her heart is. She has learning issues and is almost legally blind without her glasses. She still the sweetest, most loving, bubbly, helpful, beautiful blue eyed girl you'd ever meet. She's a tomboy but loves dolls. She's obsessed with Roblox and YouTube. She also loves Minecraft and wrestling https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3UPZWJYGAQ9HQ

N-is 14. She is my sassy, smart mouthed teenager. She doesn't always like to let it show but she's very motherly and caring. She watches her sisters sometimes if shifts overlap, she cleans up, does laundry, let's the dogs out. She likes typical teen girl stuff. Body Sprays, lotions, hair stuff, nail polish, shoes, clothes, posters, music. She's pretty awesome at editing videos and pics, she's even gained a large following on IG from it. She might look like her father but she's my twin https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/29IL6H2E5E5UL
