To be feeling anxious over Xmas

[dadap]

I really cannot afford anything for my family. I am in so much debt- single latent etc . I can’t afg to cover the usual debts let alone Xmas . I’ve been to step change but I’m drowning in debt. I am googling for free Xmas tress as my son asked if we would have. Xmas treee this year. I said yes as I couldn’t bare to tell him it’s yet something else I can’t afford. :-((

Sorry !
Latent - parent
afg - afford

Yanbu. What did Step change advise? I hope someone local us replacing their tree. You can get fairy lights for a couple if quid from the Range and you could put those in your son's room to feel Christmassy if not.

I know when I first became a single parent I was very grateful for a neighbour who put us some outside lights.

Might be worth contacting your local church to see if they know what help there is locally over Christmas too.

Youight be able to get a tree & decs on Freecycle.
