Everyone knows I’m not made of money. I recently graduated from grad school, which means I’ve spent the past six years of my life living like a pauper.
Cut to Christmastime 2016.
I’m feeling the crunch. With so many people to buy for and nothing but tuppence in my coin purse, I definitely feel the pressure at Christmas.
Just like these nice folks! Enjoy!
