Kate Gosselin is changing the rules this Christmas.

This Christmas, Kate Gosselin is trying to instill in her children the idea that money doesn’t grow on trees.

Hollybaby spoke with a source close to the Gosselin family and according to them, Kate told her kids “one gift this year so start thinking about what you want.”

“Kate’s budget is tight,” a source said. “Kate has always tried to make sure her kids aren’t greedy, but this year especially she is trying to teach them that Christmas isn’t about gifts. She told them to start deciding what they want so she can tell Santa.”

Kate only get the kids on Christmas Eve this year as they will be with their father, Jon Gosselin, on Christmas Day. I wonder what he will be doing for the kids this holiday season.

How do you feel about one gift per child?

Kate Gosselin is an inarticulate, lying, lousy mother of eight children that have issues.

This woman lives in a 1 millon dollar home and yet has the means to go on a trip every month. Not to mention has the money to buy $700 hair extensions, manis, pedis, and tanning beds..YET cries poor when it comes to her kids! Sheesh!

keep in mind, this is something a “source” said. it’s probably not even true.
leave kate alone.

I’m going to call BS about this, simply because the article quotes the source as saying Kate’s telling the kids she’s going to ask Santa for the gift they want. Kate’s been quite proud of declarng that her kids have been taught NOT to believe in Santa. I wouldn’t have a problem with one gift per child from Kate. I’m sure they’ll get gifts from Jon, too. However, Kate’s had the wherewithall to travel to Australia, NYC, and Las Vegas in the past month or so. If she’s hurting for money, it shouldn’t be the kids who have to pay the price.

She’s a piece of work, isn’t she? She’s claiming she’s broke and telling the kids no vacations, yet she jets off (with Steve, the UNnecessary bodyguard) to Australia and Vegas. And when she’s actually home here in Reading, guess what…she’s shopping and NOT with the kids. (picking the kids up at the bus stop is NOT quality time) She still has 2 expelled from school yet she considers a marathon in Vegas more important. There was a marathon in Philly last week…a HUGE marathon that brought runners from all over the WORLD…instead of running in that marathon, she jets to Vegas…WHY? I’ll tell you why..because she could have gone to Philly the day of the marathon, participated and been back at home the same night with her kids. Can’t do that in Vegas, it’s a couple of days worth of traveling/staying in Vegas.
For those who believe her B.S. about being broke, get a reality check. She has PLENTY of cash. $250K per episode, book deals, speaking deals. Yes, raising 8 kids IS expensive…but she is SO far from broke, it’s incredible. Do the math. (college tuition already covered for all 8 from the state of PA)

Those of us in Reading can only hope and pray she gets a job somewhere far, far, far away and has to move. Then she can be another town’s problem. We’ve put up with her crap for WAY too long…

Maybe if the brats wish hard enough Santa will bring them a mom.

Robbie commented on Dec 07 11 at 6:26 pm

I agree with “Stef” (I believe it is). I am not far from Reading and we are all ready for her to take her brood and leave the State ! Funny thing tho, when she does she probably also FORFEITS that PHEAA covered tuition – and lets face it – no one is really sure any of those kids are actually smart enough to even get into college! I feel for several people in this whole mess – first, poor Jon – what a Dad he is – he may not be handing over money left and right but ya gotta give the guy some credit, he spends time when he can and I believe he loves those kids. Poor Poor Gina Neild. To have to endure the humiliation of all of this. There is only one way tho Kate will go away. We need to start boycotting sites, mags, etc. that in any way shape or form picture her. No legit Mom of 1, much less a true Mom of 8, has time or energy to run around the block, much less a marathon. She is a phoney and a fake and she is an embarssment to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Ahh yea, wasn’t it a few weeks ago Kate said she coupon blogs to save money so she can buy her kids more presents, and more presents from mom mean more hugs from her kids.

What a friggin liar Kate Gosselin is, but this is nothing new.

Sue commented on Dec 08 11 at 1:41 pm

LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL. Kate Gosselin the dysfunctional mother of 8. She is a certified dumb bell and the world knows it. She does have the “IT” factor for trainwreck TV though.

Jaime commented on Dec 08 11 at 2:25 pm

All you have to do is follow her on twitter to see what a phony, LYING grifter she is. Its just one lie after another and the few sheeple that follow her feed her ego. What person in their right mind has any respect for a mother like Kate Gosselin. They have to be alot like her……hate their kids and hate men, self-absorbed and materialistic. Sad how these people have no moral compass. Poor kids….no halloween, no x-mas and no gymnastics. They have to be their mother’s cheerleading squad for the rest of their pathetic lives.

Lucy commented on Dec 08 11 at 6:28 pm

Kate Gosselin is going to spend the rest of her life getting back at the haters instead of being a mom to her children. Now that’s what I call a loser!

Lucy commented on Dec 08 11 at 6:48 pm

We can google her addy – and I say we OCCUPY GOSSELIN! Make her feed us a 12 course organic, albeit cheap (because after all, she is poor), lunch before we will agree to leave – oh and we all want rides in the “poor peopls” Audi!! Plus…where is that damn dog she adopted back? Anyone see it lately?????????? Steveo is prolly allergic or Khate trained it to ttach to Gina’s ankle…yikes!
