🎄How will the cost of living affect your Christmas?

I don't think I would even celebrate Christmas that much. Normally during Christmas we buy gifts for family and friends and most importantly for our children - we buy them a Christmas present, new Christmas clothing and so on and so forth. But for someone like me, I don't even have have recourse to public funds so all those increased cost of living expenses support that most people are getting, we are not getting. What we get for a month is unbelievable. We barely survive, so we don't have any means of celebrating Christmas at all. So that's how we see about Christmas is what we're supposed to celebrate because it's part of our tradition but we don't have any means of celebrating.
