Welcome to Zero Dollar Christmas

December 1, 2008

Times are tough and many people are struggling to get by, barely. For some, this makes the holidays even more difficult than usual: how can you celebrate when every penny you have must go toward essentials, not gifts?

If you’re an adult, you might be happy to do without, as long as you have food to eat and a roof over your head. But what about children, especially the youngest ones who still believe in Santa Claus? How can you explain belt-tightening to a four-year-old who’s dreaming of brightly colored packages under the tree on Christmas morning?

That’s where Zero Dollar Christmas comes in. I believe there are still ways to exchange gifts or suprise a child during the holidays without spending a cent. The following posts will show you how.
