Reality
It can suck growing up when you have no money and have to scale down on things like Christmas. You grew up loving the holiday and all the effort your parents went through to make it as magical as possible for you. But now, it just does not seem to have that special charm.
Many people unfortunately just can not afford to go big during the gift-giving season and have to skip it or do a small celebration. Things are much more expensive now than they were many years ago, so it looks like Christmas might be changed forever. Well, at least for us common folk.
