This is what I would tell you!
I agree. Work on your projects after Christmas or whenever you feel you can for next year and don't stress over it. Prepaid Visa cards, cash for older kids. Savings bonds and a small toy for the younger kids. My kids are so very happy now to see their bonds, now that they want to go to college and buy cars where as the toys, they no longer play with or remember who gave those toys to them.
Give them extra hugs. Hope you and your hubby get better soon.
