I have rewritten a toot 5 times trying to explain how my lack of income prevents me from enjoying Xmass fully.

But instead of giving you a sob story about my life, I want to tell you this...

If you have someone in your life who is struggling financially, just take them aside and let them know that you love them, and that you understand. Let them know that their value is in who they are, not how much they can buy.

Ask them what you can do to help them have a merry Xmass.

It'll mean a lot.

@Mrfunkedude I've been trying and failing at a response to this, but virtual hugs if you want them

The holidays have been extremely over commercialized, but I'm sure your loved ones are overjoyed by your company (virtual or otherwise) and companionship

You're right... someone's value is definitely not in what they can buy

@bobcgames @Mrfunkedude I personally am overjoyed by your company and I just got here
