My daughter has been wearing the same clothes for two years...

100. I know...

let me advise the OP to get a credit card and go out and use that puppy until it's up and over the cash limit allowed cuz those kiddies deserve new clothes, new shoes, new toys, and a meal at Applebee's. And stop at a furniture store on the way home and get some credit there. Buy a new sofa...hell, buy a whole living room set. Top off that credit card as well!!! After all it's Christmas. Those kids need to have things and you're gonna go out and buy them...all on a little plastic card!

This is the USA and if you want to buy something for your loved ones, you do it. Who cares if you have to go into debt? And why do you have to sacrifice and save up some money for those purchases? You want your stuff and you want it NOW! And so what if the interest rate is 14%? Now if you miss a payment or you're late on one, you could be looking at 29%, but who cares about COMPOUNDING INTEREST. This is America and money grows on trees. It's damn unpatriotic NOT to be in debt!

The Banksters are here to HELP you get whatever you want for your loved ones. Now get out there and SHOP! SHOP UNTIL YOU F*CKING DROP AND DO IT ALL ON CREDIT!!!

No, nini, I really, really, really care what you think. A whole bunch! Let me ask you, nini, do you realize how many families go into debt at Xmas for some stuff that the kids don't use come March? You are so smart. You tell me.

What I remember from Xmas as a kid is the great food and all of us enjoying ourselves at the kitchen table. I enjoyed decorating a tree that my uncle cut for us. Maybe I just don't like stuff that much. Memories are more important....to me. And I really liked it when it snowed and we could all go out and build a snowman.

BTW, most of my clothes were hand-made. And they were much prettier than the store-bought stuff.

But I must be some kind of unpatriotic person from France.

But we're all different.
