I feel you on that, we are a one income family and trying to find the extra cash to provide for our kids Christmas is always a big factor for us. Do you have any family or friends that you could talk to that may could help you out until the first of the year?

I am sorry to hear that. Have you spoke to your husband about the stress you feel from his hours being cut? Maybe you both could come up with a plan to move some bills around to make it work.

Do you have any friends that you could maybe start babysitting for or cleaning houses for? Sometimes I post on my local moms group looking for small jobs and luck up there.
