Christmas on benefits: ‘We are relying on games to keep our kids entertained on the day' ✒️ 'It brought a tear to our eyes when our 10-year-old daughter offered to give us her pocket money to help with the family bills this Christmas'
Of course, we have no alternative but to try and deal with it, so it means we are having more jacket potatoes and beans rather than more variety and we manage as long as we can with the heating off, which has not been easy on the last few freezing days down here in the southwest.
If I am honest, this constant struggle has become normalised. We just make do. We don’t think about things we can’t have and stick to the basics. We have a roof over our heads and the kids are not starving. This is the life we have had for so long that you just stop thinking about an alternative.as a lot of their pals, but they are great kids, and they just get on with it, despite not having the life that many of their friends have.
We have a plastic tree which is a little bit threadbare now, but once it’s covered with lights and decorations that doesn’t really matter, it still looks a little bit magical. Last year, for example, I read that the International Space Station was passing by that night, so the “elf” reported that Santa would be flying over the house and the children later watched in awe as Father Christmas sped across the sky!
