Nothing about this post has any urgency outside of "i have to buy presents". FFS. You aren't the first person to have to tighten it up during holiday time, and you sure won't be the last.
Stop the crybaby nonsense. "have kids" ... who cares?
"Good luck, man."
Clearly this guy has a heart, saying that to a stranger is nice, but adding the "man" adds a friendlyness to it that is hard to come by on the internet. This is what we call a bait, as will be seen by the things to come.

Now here, because the original poster did not state that he had immediate financial problems, somehow this suddenly is not that big a problem for him. The time honored mantra of "someone else has it worse, so you cant have it bad" is strongly indicated with Mscasborough reminding him he is not the first person to be in a bad place just before christmas. The optimistic "and you sure won't be the last" leads us onto the next golden nugget of communication.
"Stop the crybaby nonsense. "have kids" ... who cares?"
There we have it! Full "Dick!". It is rare to see in real life, but more omnipresent on the internet. The first sentence indicated that the original posted might not have complained enough while the "Stop the crybaby nonsense" indicates that he in fact was complaining too much. But the piece de resistance, the ode to the world of dickishness and the absolute pinnacle of human dickishness is encapsulated in the words "'have kids' ...who cares?"
Personaly I hope the original poster will get a job as soon as possible. The feeling of being unemployed just before christmas must be very hard indeed.
"Pay attention kids while I break it down for you"
What is that?
You "hope the original poster will get a job as soon as possible", and you hope what for the commenter? A lump of coal in his stocking?
Xmas/New Years is not that bad of a time because nobody else is working, anyways. You know you aren't going to find anything so you can take a break from resume spamming. Then, after the New Year, there is a flurry of hiring activity as people settle back in and take care of things they've put off since Thanksgiving.
The worst time, I'd say, is in the dead of summer. July/August. Really bad time to try to find a job.
More people than those that care for you, apparently.
