Jean- is the problem that your DH just doesn't want to give Christmas presents or that he feels you don't have the money to buy Christmas presents? Not wanting to give presents is an issue that you'd have to compromise on, but if it's just a money issue there are tons of things you can do. I'm sure there are some freebies that would be good. Making colouring books with pictures from the internet is easy. There are tons of crafts or other things you could make with things around the house. If you have a CD burner and thekids use the cpmouter, how about burning a CD of music or free games? Make a nice cover for it and give that as a gift?
For a little money you could chesk the Goodwill or consignment stores for toys. The dollar store usually have lots of stuff super cheap. If you can sew, you may be able to pick up some Christmas themed fabric cheaply and sew each child a pair of Christmas PJs- though you have to watch the price of fabric as sometimes buying premade PJs would be cheaper.
If it were me, honestly, I'd be writing up the cheapest food menu possible and using the spare grocery money for gifts. It would be eggs and beans with rice for us for awhile!
I hope you and your Dh can work it out. It would feel awful to not have anything for the kids on Christmas morning. {{hugs}}
